Cool theme. 👍

For the love of all things original, can I plead with everyone to resist the whole General Lee thing? k? Thanks

 

[spykerdriver]

Hrmmmmm.....that's an....um...interesting theme.

 

[Melaneimoon]

General Lee? ... interesting?

 

[spykerdriver]

I can honestly say that I don't think I have ever driven on the Grand Canyon Rally Track! I am not the biggest rally fan, but I guess I will be bolting on the dirt tires!

So are we gonna go to long lengths to define "Old American Muscle Car(s)"? If so check this https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showpost.php?p=1705136&postcount=57

Is there a cut off year? For example: before 1980.

Just thought a little clarification might be in order.

yeah before 1980 sounds right, i mena hats usually what it is when they say "Old AmericanMuscle Cars"

 

[ALPHA]

That's very tight Danger Orange, you should add some sparks coming off the car for an increased shoot-out effect!

 

[G-T-4-Fan]

Nice entry Dange:tup:
For a final entry: I dunno how you can be original in this theme

 

[el flexo]

good theme. bit baffled on what car to drive though.

 

[franz]

nice! Danger
can't wait to see more good entries like this

 

[Melaneimoon]

lol 440 Charger, I hate the rallys too. But they can provide some nice photo material though.
GT4fan, ofcourse you can be original. There are no restrictions at all on photography style. You can be original with: angle, composition, lighting, subject (cruising,slide,jump,environment,...), colors, b/w, blur,... hmm?

As for the definition of "muscule car", yeah I thought about it not being so sharp.
~1980 sounds good. I mean the kind of cars like... the Dodge Charger, Chevy Chevelle and Corvette, Plymouth Cuda and Super bird, Shelby Mustang. You know, the those big wide machines with a 10m² hood.
What year is that green Buick from?

I would like to rule out non-front engine cars (Ford GT40, Chapparal, ?) though. If it's not too late...
I suppose the 50s Corvette and the Cobra aren't so perfect either. If you have this really great shot of them, it's ok I guess, but I'd rather you didn't. Is that good?

Anything I'm missing?

Oh yes, multiple cars allowed ofcourse. Provided they are elligibe.

 

[spykerdriver]

What year is that green Buick from?

The GNX? It's an 1984. The Special? It's an 1962.

 

[LandoAWD]

No General Lee? Doh!

I'll whip something up.

 

[G-T-4-Fan]

It still stays VERY difficult IMO. I dont like muscle cars anyway. And the track limits you to some kinda warm color styles. It's not like you can use a blue tint in this rally track, it wouldn't be wild west like.

And all the spectators with camera's kinda distract the wild west feel. Ah well, it's not like you made these requirements, I'm putting them myself

 

[suzq044]

Ford GT40, Chapparal, <- you cant even get dirt tires for those.. so dont worry [i tried]

 

[mouser]

Well even if you could, I dont think they'd be considered "muscle cars".

 

[suzq044]

the GT40 is definitely a muscle car.. [69 issue anyways]
