I've always had a thing for making domestic front wheel drive cars into muscle cars.
My old 1991 Chevy Cavalier station wagon. Unsuspecting.
3.2L with a mild cam, big injectors, turbo, custom Haltech ECU, 242hp and 292 ft lbs to the wheels at only 10 psi. 13.9@104 mph in the 1/4 on 8 psi and a slipping clutch. It is still roaming the streets of D/FW, but with MUCH more boost.
I don't have any pictures of my Dodge SRT-4 that I had. 279 hp and 311 ft lbs to the wheels. It too was a fun little car.Comment

1983 Z/28 Crossfire (Vette S/Block) Camaro
All original including the paint
Graphite composite hood with a pair of working butterfly valve intakes that suck cold air into the 305 small block.
The engine is the Corvette Crossfire fuel injection option available only in 1982 & 1983. It has a pair of air filters sitting over dual throttle bodies on a Chevy custom dual intake, which suck cold air through the dual butterfly valves when the engine is punched = like secondaries on a 4 barrel - sucks air straight in through the hood.

I purchased it back in 1997 from a Coast Guard C-130 pilot with only 37,000 original miles. The pilot purchased it special order - new from a Virginia Beach VA Chevrolet dealership in 1982 - picking it up when it was delivered in 1983. I paid 5000 dollars for this car - literally brand new and barely broke in - still on the original set of tires.Originally posted by JSF View Post
He used that 5,000 bucks to build a Cobra kit car. I think I made out on this deal LOL!
You don't want to punch it in a pouring rain....it will suck water straight into the engine when those butterfly valves pop open. I don't drive it in the rain

Here's Dad's hot rod. Being from a generation before....I suppose his generation have a different view of muscle cars.
1950 Ford Business coupe with a Ford 289 dropped in.
This car came without rear seats. The old Ford Business coupe was a highly sought car during the 50s for specific reason, it was lighter without the back seat, technically made for sales guys who had to stuff a lot of stuff in the trunk and back seat area, minus the back seats (flat floorboard storage), as they made business calls. The old MOONSHINE CROWD used these cars to haul shine...and Ford built them with the best engine of that period. Those in the know used that extra power and storage area to haul moonshine and or as it was intentionally designed, for 50s vintage sales guys to carry sales items and luggage as they drove around making customer sales calls.
The old Flathead was pulled and replaced with the 289 - 3 on the tree - she hauls 0 - 60 in a wicked fast old school pull to speed.
