I’ve had mustangs and Cameros But the coolest may be my current truck. A Ram 1500 TRX. How can you not have fun with a full time 4x4 with 702 HP that will get to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds.
That’s gonna be another cool thread!
1979 GMC Caballero Diablo ( same as El Camino ) . Last year they put 350's in Caballero's or El Camino's. Two tone blue with all the factory options. Also had a 1990 Silverado xtra cab with a 350 5 speed manual that would bark 4th at 60mph. Miss it too. Like most everyone else, we wish we had them back.

I had 1974 Kaw 900 Z1A with stage III Yoshi performance kit, added twin disc front and rear mod from drum to disc. Had to run the 110 octane to lope the cam and idle right. I miss the smell of that tailpipe perfume.
They are a fantastic car, it's a better car than I am a driver. The Cleveland is a steller engine for sure, and the ZF-2 gearbox is good for tons of HP, the weak link is gearing. No matter the HP, you are RPM limited to about 160mph from factory. There is ONE option for the ring gear available, a taller 5th gear, or a trans swap are your options. That's why the land speed guys run such tall tires.
I highly suggest that you do, unless you have driven another big torque mid-engine car you haven't driven anything like it.
