#1 - '71 Hemi Cuda. The rest don't matter! I hate to agree with you cuz Mopar is junk but.... Them old Barracudas with the big 429 Hemi sure put the power on the ground. Corvettes are timeless except for the late 70's models that had those big assed smog pumps. I say top of the line Vetts,no matter what year,gots plenty of muscle.

Denny. This. Best car of all time. 5 or 6 others are a distant 2nd, anything else isnt even close.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

426 Hemi not 429
I had a '70 Hemi Cuda
Doors rattled off the show room floor!
'71 used Carter thermo quads. Sh..T!
'70 used Holley quadrajets,dual line, dual pumps. Much better!
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

My first car was GTO Judge with the VOE option. Spent many a Friday and Saturday night making all windows rattle at the local Sonic. Sold it to buy a BOSS Mustang...
Oh the memories and the cars I wish I had kept... The Judge will always be on the top 10 list in my mind.
If it has whipped cream and chocolate drizzles on it, it’s dessert. Grow up and get a coffee damnit

Just seven would be hard....
Any 66-68 440 or Hemi Mopar and of course the 70-73 E body cars. Even some of the 340 cars were bad azz, like the AAR Cuda.
Goats up until 67 were my favorite.
The 455 HO Trans Am was a monster, as was the GS Stage 1 Buick.
Big Block Camaros and Chevelles, 442's......even ford had a couple decent cars.
No way I could just pick seven.

Picking the biggest most powerful engine is not my criteria. The looks of the car, with big performance, not necessarily the biggest, is what is important to me. These were the hottest and most memorable cars to me back in high school:
1. 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 426 Hemi
2. 1966 Chevelle SS396
3. 1966 Chevy Nova SS396
4. 1964 GTO 389
5. 1968 Olds 442
6. 1968 Shelby Cobra GT500 428
7. 1969 Dodge Charger 440 Six Pack

Absolutely! The 302 Z28 Camaros have a level of cool that most can only dream of.
