widest you can put on the celicas without rolling the fenders is like 8.5 with 35mm wall

Wasn't calling it a 'classic' but it is American muscle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Don't get me wrong, it's a great toy but if it were mid 70 ' s you'd be singing a different tune about the vette vs rice

You mean 60s. Mid 70s cars were garbage cause of the gas shortage and emissions regulations. 454 vettes is the mid 70s has no power at all

I really like the body styles of American cars of that era. If you're talking about extensive performance mods anyway what's the difference?

I used to be a muscle guy, but unless you got money and skills to build up a old skool ride or buy a new muscle then its out of the question.

I crashed my last import tuner in january due to a lady passing red light.

I owned a 2001 mitsu galant es 2.4l 4 cylinder car.

It had a

-turbo build i made from compiling parts together

-2003 eclipse transmission (standard)

-evo 8 headers

-10:1 compression wiseco piston

-upgraded coil overs

-dual throttle body ported

- k&n cold air intake

-upgraded spark system for higher ecu maps

-evo 8 custom tuned ecu

That galant was pushing well over 600+ hp which may not be something to anyone who is into muscle, but weight difference made my galant crazy fast with 500+ pounds of wheel to floor torque.

Thegalantforums was my main source of info for the build and never got around to making it awd.

For now im happy with my 2000 gmc sierra with a 5.3l vortec engine which i plan to upgrade one day, but am currently dedicated to building my audio setup first

Those grand nationals were beast cars. Same with the Monte Carlo ss, gmc typhoon and gmc cyclone.

My 2014 WRX, most fun, best all around performing car I have owned to date. Can't wait to hit 15k miles, then the mods start.
