Theme Tuesday: Muscle Part II

Jul 17, 2012

I mentioned in my last Performance Improvements article that as a wee lad the first time I noticed stance of any sort was on a muscle car.

The exaggerated forward rake that was in at the time made it stand out amongst all the factory cars I was used to seeing and it was the first time I realized I didn’t much care for stock height.

So with that in mind here are some of the muscle cars that have been taking of residence on my hard drive.

muscle18 — When it comes to over exageration Japan does it perhaps the best

muscle1 — I’ve always sort of thought the front end on these was a little long… not sure if the rake helps or makes it worse

muscle15_jav — The first Javelin I’ve posted?

muscle13 — Keeping the Trans Am feel going a bit

muscle20 — I feel like I have posted this before…

muscle3 — What would this post be without a car with a blower

muscle7 — One day I will be able to get an interesting panning shot like this… one day

muscle2 — Something like this is very close to inline with my ‘forever’ car

muscle4 — Though I could see being swayed to more of a pro touring look

muscle9 — Not 100% sold on those particular wheels but the stance is right

muscle6 — HRE wheels will probably forever be out of my price range but there is no denying that they are worth the price

muscle17jpeg — This car looks sublte yet sinister at the same time and does 10 second quarters at 128

muscle10 — I still need to see this in person

muscle19 — Well see there’s your problem (The H.A.M.B. tells me this is Ron Mancini’s transmission all over the floor)

Head nod to Ollie cause I think he sent a few of these.

For those wondering the first ‘low’ vehicle I seem to be able to remember was an s10 Blazer.

This post has stance, now with 100% more rubber!

Turbo Regal brings back some good memories for me presonally.

the stance on the second car is my kind of muscle car stance, just perfect.

and i thought that silver stang was a hakosuka for a split second there.
