Geez guys, it's simple.
1. M+T=HP (Money + Time = Horsepower). The rest is all personal preference.
2. Unless you happen to own the world's fastest top fuel dragster, theres always somebody faster.
I've driven a '69.5 Camaro, '96 Camaro and briefly a '99 Mustang. RWD american V8s are just the most fun cars to drive, but again that's my personal preference.
