This second go around on the Muscle car wars is more involved. You now have the internet and more of a national debate. Back in the day it was just small town, big city type of deal. We had our town heros and legends were born. Drag strips and the street was where it was settled. And the cars that could give you that rep is the ones you owned. The Challenger was one of those cars, along with the Camaro. The R/Ts were mostly big block cars and the Camaro was mostly small block. So the Cudas and Challengers were the street sharks. To run with them you needed cubes. So for GM that meant Chevelle and 442. Buick GS. You had a few Camaros like Yenco and COPO but they were few. Today you can go as fast as your pay check will allow.
