4 Muscle Car Alternatives For $3500 - Car Throttle

It’s the car rivalry that all other car rivalries aspire to be. It’s like Star Trek versus Star Wars , only with bigger egos and lower IQs. Don’t get offended, I can say that because I’ve owned a Mustang - two actually - so I’m right there with you pony car guys. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just watch this classic video. There’s no question that car culture in ‘Murica is forever tied to V8 power and rear-wheel drive. Such is the muscle car recipe, and right now in America you can buy a halfway decent mid-‘90s Mustang GT or Camaro Z28 for about $3500. Like it or not, it’s hard to beat that kind of sideways-loving, V8 bang-for-buck. Or maybe you just don’t want to be pigeonholed into the Mustang versus Camaro camp of enthusiasts, which is perfectly understandable. So for the discriminating American petrolhead looking for a good V8 rear-wheel drive fix on a $3500 budget, here are four muscle car alternatives worthy of your attention. Old-school muscle car DNA is prevalent all through the 1994-1996 Caprice thanks to its body-on-frame construction, big V8 and solid rear axle. In fact, so does the Caprice’s B-body associates, namely the Buick Roadmaster and Cadillac Fleetwood. Source: www.carthrottle.com
