1987 Buick Grand National: Roll off the line to about 15MPH then MASH the throttle. As the boost on the turbo hits 15 PSI, the rear wheels break free, the car takes a slight sideways tilt and you get pushed back in your seat.
1980 Firebird Formula: Outfitted with a 400HP Chevy Small Block and a 250HP nitrous bottle, beating Ninja 1000s was commonplace.
1995 Corvette: Fitted with a worked over 500HP Small Block, a six speed manual transmission and .373 gears, this baby was quite a kick in the ass.
These were my buddie's rides.
The best car I ever drove and owned was a dead-stick 1981 Chevy Camaro Z-28. It was slow, because it was stock, but it just OOZED "American Muscle" styling.
