not quite...
 
I love both, just for purposely being not flashy or showy at all, as opposed to the typical tuner cars of today. Under the hood is where it counts. :thumbup:
 
Not a fan of the Nova's looks, but the power I am a fan of. The "Mule" I like quite a bit though, very nice.

Just saw that it said it has over 1000 horsepower. Serious business. :eek:
 
The Mule is cool, but that Nova is the ultimate sleeper.
 
Yeah, I love how the Nova has an older paint job that's flat. What a sleep beast. :D

And that Camaro is uber hot. :woot:
 
Considering that the Camaro is my favorite car, I have a bit of a bias as to which I would choose. However, it stands that both cars have my respect, and I wouldn't be offended to drive the Nova. In fact I would probably be like this:
:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:
if I drove either beast.
 
I have to say the title scared me a little, twin turbos in a Nova? That would be like ketchup on pancakes, a front engined Porsche, Barry Manilow doing death metal, dogs and cats living together in perfect harmony! Sacrilege! But praise be to those above, it was only a slight error, and the Nova possesses twin superchargers not turbos.
 
Now thats what I call an ultimate sleeper :woot:

Yeah, I got the title from somewhere else. Belt driven turbocharger then......
 
that nova is faster than a 9.6 bc of the 146 mph traps. it should be able to touch 8s with sticky tires. look at how much speed he picks up on the back half.

btw its a centrifugal supercharger

if it had the RS/SS headlights it would be even better
 
That is one hell of a fuel system. I would definatly rock that.
