Most V8 10 and 12.

Seems like the Nissan Skyline series should be on the muscle car list too. They didn't import them to the US back then (produced up to about 2002 I believe) but they had up to 500hp. They are starting to import them used to the US now. They bring big bucks

Right hand drive. Lots of documentation needed but yes you can buy one in the US. Ravmotorsports I believe imports them. You contact Bear.

A first gen base Camaro came with a I6, a relatively "weak" engine. Buyers could muscle up with a variety of V8s. Needless to say several other cars of the era offered the same muscle options. Handling was not the focus. A Vette by comparison tend to only offer a performance engine and did focus on the sport. The line blurry today, but the 370 is sport

True that... Ive had my camaro 2.5 months now... Im kinda shocked and awed now that im used to its size how i can pretty much toss it around like my Z and it holds up great as a sports car. Its main weak point are those Eagle F1 tires by goodyear. Considering the price, they are a severely subpar tire. Lines definitely blurred. Still prefer a sports car size like the Z, generally speaking.

Unknown, I totally get what you're saying. I have recently let go of my 13, 6mt sport Z after several months of overlap with the new M2. As mentioned in my review between the 2 awhile back, the M2 is the better car. However I do plan on getting another nimble 2 seat car (as a 2nd car) in 3-4, years for that smaller sports car size feel. A Cayman, if Nissan doesn't come out with a good Z35 would foot the bill. I'm starting to get old, so let's not f*** around Nissan!
