Yenko Camaro

Eleanor styled 68 FB

Dodge Charger RT

66 Pontiac GTO

Anyone of the above would do nicely , but Id go for the Yenko or a Shelby Commissioned Eleanor

Ive been lucky enough to go in most of those pontiacs. My uncle and cousin were fanatics.
Been in a:

1970 455ci GTO Judge - BRIGHT yellow
1971 455ci Tans Am - White with blue eagle
1978 400ci Trans Am - Red
1979 400ci Trans Am - Black with gold eagle

He used to have a 1965 Ponitac GTO in the 70s, fastest thing he's ever had apaprently.

Also the early 90's mustang GT's were bloody fast, went in a mildy tuned manuel version a few years ago.

Still prefer mopars any day, 1970 challenger or charger or maybe a cuda.

That's OK - if it's roughly the same shape/age a Formula 400 should look like this
