I'm not really sure it can be called a "muscle car" in the sense of the word. I tend to think of it as an updated modern torana hatch (a frickin awesome one, though). Old muscle cars have oldschool engines, 4 speeds or powerglides and basic everything(nothing too flash astheticly exept a nice paintjob) Your bro's hatch is waaay too detailed to fit into the muscle car catagory, in my opinion. However, in saying that, Ive been told that I have a very distorted view of reality by my missus. She's probably right

Yeah, I hear you, but I had to stir : )

The only thing I disagree on is muscle cars having autos. Once it has an auto it becomes nannas car. Muscle cars have proper gearboxes. A 307 powerglide monaro is awesome, but not a muscle car. A 426 hemi 4 speed Road Runner, now THAT'S a muscle car : )

mmmmm........hemi........ hahaha

Ready to race simpson...bring that shit on ....

Now what sort of feedbac should i give old mate,( he told me 10 days, it took 49 days to recieve it) negative: and my box blows up and i get NO warrenety,
or posative and get overit, what should i do...?

If its the Aussie 4 speeds from Sydney his user name changes a fair bit. Hope the gearbox has held up for you and has stopped jumping out of gear.
Nice Hatch, front spoiler or not its a very tidy hatch.
