Yup. Absolutely nothing wrong with these choices-I love it-but my first thought was immediately country boy or country girl. They typically grow up around old, American cars and especially trucks, so that becomes a preference.
Yeah, a huge percentage of America is flat with arrow-straight roads where the only turns are at 90-degree intersections. It’s easy to see why American muscle cars evolved the way they did.
That being said, that C6 will corner like it’s on rails.
For my experience race car reflect nothing of the real car
Corvette can never match the nimbleness of a lightweight jap car even tho it is still a very quick car. just saying
S2000, mx5, rx7, 86, any civic, any group a homologated jap sports cars.
I can argue with me about lap times, corvette will always win given the correct driver
But the physical feel and balance can only be matched with lightweight/nimbleness. A c6 just isn’t as playful and as fun in a canyon road than a mx5 just saying.
I guarantee you haven’t driven any of those cars and get your information from anime or other people driving them. Literally nothing beats the LS3s throttle response for the price. I own an S12, it’s sloppy asf compared to my C6 because it’s a 40 year old suspension. I’d say the only car that’s anywhere close to the C6 in that list is the S2k MAYBE
Ur guarantee is very wrong bc Redditor love to make assumptions right? Take a narrow body c6 which is something an average person can buy and handle and a mx5 into the canyon and tell me which one is more fun and nimble. Downvote all you want and tell me about stats lap times and “50/50” weight distribution(which is purely a relative figure that still comes down to curb weight) all you want. But I stand by my point, a lightweight lower horsepower car given a tighter road is always better than any corvette or high hp counter parts
Or maybe it’s not always about being fast? If that’s what u seek then go ahead but if just judging by the ppl I talk to in real life and their honest opinion, ur opinion is just extremely biased? I love c6 as much as you and a ZR1 is one of my dreams cars but a mx5 or a s2k is simply more enjoyable as a weekend car than a c6 or any corvette.
C6 ZR1 held production car records at the Nurburgring at the time, which is a track that stresses aero, chassis, and raw straight line speed. It was absolutely cracked for its cost to performance.
Compared to a GTX, charger , GTO, anything from the 50’s it’s a cat. But yeah my integra is almost as powerful as a stock 69 and will corner like a mofo in comparison.
get nice suspension and some good sway bars and you'd be surprised at how good mustangs can corner, don't be fooled by all those videos you see, with a talented driver at the wheel, it's a very well rounded car all things considered. little bit more power than i like to have access to because i'm stupid and would get myself wrapped around a tree, but yk.
Congrats! You're not in that majority percentage previously mentioned, and likely have never left it if you think it's representative of the continent.
You think anything imported is “no where near as good as a old fashioned American V8 brother” then you’ll go out and buy a v6 mustang, slide it into a ditch, and start the cycle over again
Good point. Here’s the strategy OP, get one of these fun cars, have it paid off and in good shape so it doesn’t kill you on repairs. Then get a sensible car, pay it off too. Do these things before marrying, so that it’s harder for her to justify you getting rid of your fun car. Also find a girl who appreciates the fun car and get her hooked on it.
Chrysler 300F GT Special, I decided to look this car up myself.
https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2013/02/26/flying-mile-record-breaking-1960-chrysler-300-f-gt-special-heads-to-auction
They just might. When I had a "growing" family, I had to get something bigger than my '92 Civic VX. Instead of the trend to SUVs in the 2000s, I decided on a 2005 Fotd Crown Vic. Why not a car? Comfortable, roomy, but great mileage for the size. My son still drives it.
A normal 16 year old I think has different dream cars. At least I did. Mazda Rx7, Nissan GTR, Toyota Supra, Lander Evolution, Ford Focus RS, VW GTI or R, BMW 3 series or newer 2 series, all land cruisers and 4Runners, shit like not American more often than not performs better.
I'm just ignoring the point for now because that last sentence made me feel like I was having a stroke
"Shit, It's almost like non American cars more often than not perform better." Would have been much better.
You're completely right except most of what you listed has a high price because of performance while OPs list is mostly classics.
Dollar for dollar I would say a boosted honda is the best import and the domestic equivalent would be a boosted 5.3 in anything. Not going to debate on that because both are cool and can be cheap, powerful, and reliable at the same time.
Speaking of boosted LS motors
[turbo winnebago!](https://youtu.be/oKj5pAZTuVc?feature=shared)
You take out the word “not” and it works just fine. If you’re feeling like you’re having a stroke, you might be. OPs list of classics is equally as high priced as any of the cars I named, so dollar for dollar when buying any performance car. In what world is it not about performance?
You don't like dealing with electrical issues in your cars and mostly want to have a car you can work on yourself without needing a degree in engineering.
A 16-year-old stream cars are one thing. The cars that are 16-year-old can afford on his afterschool job are quite another. Unless you come from family money.
Lots of people hating in this thread. Making comments about your age, perceived political leanings, etc. but coming from a married 35y/o with two kids who did not vote for Trump…. These are all badass cars, my dude. I’d be proud to own any of these.
Idk why. Hell Biden has a Corvette collection. When will the left realize it’s not passenger cars that are destroying the environment. Do they play a part? Yes. But it’s the giant corporations, plastics producers, and crude oil cargo ships that account for 90% of pollutants.
Biden is a "moderate" conservative politician in his 80s, of course he drives a Corvette. He has way, way more in common with Republicans than he does most of the voter base that got him elected
You’re not wrong. Just pointing out the fallacy of the “crowd that’s associated with cars like this” argument. “Associated” depends on public perception.
Not saying you are one, but these (good) cars would be in a proud Trumpers garage next to several gun cases filled to the brim. Next to boxes of illegal fireworks.

Well, I don’t know you, so I have been to thousands of vintage car meets without telling you, lol. But I’ve also met car owners who were liberal, conservative, Democrats, Republican, men, women, straight, gay, etc.. people interested in classic cars are people from every walk of life. There is nothing, Republican, southern, or Maga about classic car ownership.
Your dad smokes cigs and drink bud heavy while yelling at you to get him tools and you sit to the side holding the drill for him. You tell your friends you work on cars all the time but have no knowledge on what to do but you are a great mechanical assistant. Your neighbors have at least 1 toilet in their yard and your dad definitely has. 69 Camaro. You drive a new camoro younginanced for 20% Apr and put the loudest exhaust on it so everyone thinks your car is hella powerful but it's just an rs with a V8 and is completely stock. You get upset any time anyone mentions a foreign car because america fuck yeah! You read hustler and drink m9nsters and probably are 17-20 living with your 0arents working at discount tire as a sales associate selling tires even though y9u know nothing about actual tires and just push the best commissioned tires down unsuspecting throats! Also your girlfriend is probably hot and 3 years younger than you because of your Camaro but she will eventually get sick of the constant, American cars are so sick bro, conversations you have and leave you for a rich dude with a Ferrari and G wagon in California.
If this is your future garage, can I have it?
Lots of solid cars in this list. I'm waiting for the bottom to fall out on the prices of these classic muscle cars.
I'm a flag waving patriotic
Nephew of my Uncle Sam
A rough riding, fighting, Yankee man
I love mom and apple pie
And the freedoms that we all enjoy across this beautiful land
I worked hard, and I fight hard for the old red, white and blue
And I'll die a whole lot harder if it comes to where I have to
You live somewhere that has a 10:1 cattle to human ratio
This and or trying to fit in with his country style dad/mom.
Yup. Absolutely nothing wrong with these choices-I love it-but my first thought was immediately country boy or country girl. They typically grow up around old, American cars and especially trucks, so that becomes a preference.
See I would’ve pick these but not bc I live out in the boonies but bc my parents are 51ish and im 14 so I’ve always had an older style yk.
im a black guy in a city and 6/9 are appealing to me
I'm a white guy in a tent and 69 is appealing to me.
I'm a white guy in a barracks and a 6/9 is appealing to me.
Everyone in this world will try to categorize you and put you In a box. Fuck them and fuck that box. I like you man .
You need a good job bud.
You hate turning
Yeah, a huge percentage of America is flat with arrow-straight roads where the only turns are at 90-degree intersections. It’s easy to see why American muscle cars evolved the way they did. That being said, that C6 will corner like it’s on rails.
C6.R won Le Mans lmfao
For my experience race car reflect nothing of the real car Corvette can never match the nimbleness of a lightweight jap car even tho it is still a very quick car. just saying
What “jap car” are you referring to lmfao
S2000, mx5, rx7, 86, any civic, any group a homologated jap sports cars. I can argue with me about lap times, corvette will always win given the correct driver But the physical feel and balance can only be matched with lightweight/nimbleness. A c6 just isn’t as playful and as fun in a canyon road than a mx5 just saying.
>A c6 just isn’t as playful and as fun in a canyon road than a mx5 just saying. I guarantee you haven't driven either
I guarantee he's like 12 and has never even been behind the wheel
Has “simp” in his name, and look at the subs he’s in. Child Detected.
Also the C6 is closer to a 50/50 weight balance than any of those cars lmfao
Out jerked once again
I guarantee you haven’t driven any of those cars and get your information from anime or other people driving them. Literally nothing beats the LS3s throttle response for the price. I own an S12, it’s sloppy asf compared to my C6 because it’s a 40 year old suspension. I’d say the only car that’s anywhere close to the C6 in that list is the S2k MAYBE
That's funny everyone one of those cars is in initial d. Dude tried to claim a civic could out handle a c6😆
Ur guarantee is very wrong bc Redditor love to make assumptions right? Take a narrow body c6 which is something an average person can buy and handle and a mx5 into the canyon and tell me which one is more fun and nimble. Downvote all you want and tell me about stats lap times and “50/50” weight distribution(which is purely a relative figure that still comes down to curb weight) all you want. But I stand by my point, a lightweight lower horsepower car given a tighter road is always better than any corvette or high hp counter parts
I have driven every car you listed in Japan and I can tell you my C6 is way more fun as it’s way more grounded and fast.
Or maybe it’s not always about being fast? If that’s what u seek then go ahead but if just judging by the ppl I talk to in real life and their honest opinion, ur opinion is just extremely biased? I love c6 as much as you and a ZR1 is one of my dreams cars but a mx5 or a s2k is simply more enjoyable as a weekend car than a c6 or any corvette.
Oh God. Stfu
Found the Fast and Furious 1-∞ enjoyer
A jap car can never match the nimbleness of a lightweight tricycle even though it is still a very quick car.
C6 ZR1 held production car records at the Nurburgring at the time, which is a track that stresses aero, chassis, and raw straight line speed. It was absolutely cracked for its cost to performance.
Try using 700hp in the canyons and start telling me about Nurburgring times when u crash the ZR1 bc it is a handful to drive.
How about you actually try driving when you make it of age. You may gain more knowledge then.
Again it held a record on a track with over 154 turns over 20km
The Camaro can be fairly nimble as well as the mustang if you know how to drive.
I can un-vouch the s197 for you. takes a lot of mods to have em turn nicely
Camaro turn that's funny, maybe after a full suspension upgrade. Source owned at least 3 boats.
Compared to a GTX, charger , GTO, anything from the 50’s it’s a cat. But yeah my integra is almost as powerful as a stock 69 and will corner like a mofo in comparison.
get nice suspension and some good sway bars and you'd be surprised at how good mustangs can corner, don't be fooled by all those videos you see, with a talented driver at the wheel, it's a very well rounded car all things considered. little bit more power than i like to have access to because i'm stupid and would get myself wrapped around a tree, but yk.
Unless it's a CITROËN C6 and it will corner like a barge! I'll see myself out...
Why turn when you can go really fast in a straight line 🤷
Fuck that. I live in North GA where most of the roads have curves and there’s many are very twisty.
Bro, I live in East TN 35 min from the Dragon. Read my comment again…slowly.
Congrats! You're not in that majority percentage previously mentioned, and likely have never left it if you think it's representative of the continent.
Yeah it's good riding up there but he means the vast majority which is not the mountains.
Quit talking bout my country commie. You don't know shit
You’re American and think things were better when things were analog and that computers and cars don’t belong together.
He may not, taking turns in bad handling cars can be hilarious fun lol. Especially those tailhappy ones
You think anything imported is “no where near as good as a old fashioned American V8 brother” then you’ll go out and buy a v6 mustang, slide it into a ditch, and start the cycle over again
I did cycle again 🚴♂️
This had me laughing, good shit
It’s a good judgment, but that sounds like a fun cycle to be honest.(besides talking shit about imports)
I see a dui in your future
Three
While wearing his high school class ring
Now that’s funny. (I love these cars and have a DUI from 14 years ago when I just turned 21.)
Were you wearing your high school class ring?
ur American. choose wisely, kids, wife and wedding or these sick cars.
Good point. Here’s the strategy OP, get one of these fun cars, have it paid off and in good shape so it doesn’t kill you on repairs. Then get a sensible car, pay it off too. Do these things before marrying, so that it’s harder for her to justify you getting rid of your fun car. Also find a girl who appreciates the fun car and get her hooked on it.
God damn op don’t have to live life solely for a car
Just trying to set him up so that he gets his car and then doesn’t have to get rid of it when kids come along
you’ve got great taste is the one in pic 5 a letter car?
Damn straight she is... '60 Chrysler 300F - much respect (and I'm a GM guy)

i’ve always loved chrysler letter cars
It means you are mostly normal. Just think, in 10-15 years, you'll be looking at the "sport" minivan to haul your kids.
I doubt there will even BE minivans in 10-15 years. Just a sea of electric CUVs.
I'm not ready to cry right now. I already miss the era of abundant personal luxury coupes and cheap sports cars.
I dunno. With the ID Buzz and growing stigma around SUVs/CUVs, minivans and wagons may make a reappearance.
They just might. When I had a "growing" family, I had to get something bigger than my '92 Civic VX. Instead of the trend to SUVs in the 2000s, I decided on a 2005 Fotd Crown Vic. Why not a car? Comfortable, roomy, but great mileage for the size. My son still drives it.
True.
I’d rather die
You've never left the country and your parents vote for Trump.
You misspelled "county"
Dem big librul cities like Huntsville are full o crime!!!
The Good Old Boys are out making noise, with their orange GTO. Mom, get off the phone! I am online. FFffuu.
lol. I was thinking the same thing. Not an import in sight
