      @@THESLlCK imagine hating someone else’s build because it’s something they like and not what you like. Both of the cars you specified where built for the purpose of being used in Gymkhana and serve that purpose well. Not to mention Gymkhana calls for a different tuning setup compared to FD style of drifting. Different sports, different build plain and simple no need to hate

    The 69 stang and camaro are 2 of the older generations of muscle cars that can hold their own with their appearance. Compared to the modern versions of each. I own a 69 mach 1 428scj drag pak. Ofcourse considering its value, id never chop it up to modify the panels and such.
