    I love Old School better than the new plastic they are bringing out these days.

    I had an old HR ute, 4spd, 186 bored out to a 192, with a 350 holley on it.............and she was awesome to drive and cruise around in. Loved it.

    you just can't get the mean stance, or the street car muscle look with these new ones.

    So my preference is old school

    Second that, there is nothing like a classic Musclecar with all the electrics and luxurys you can get nowdays, hidden of course. Just not sure about the engine, modern stuff is awesome for power and economy, but classic engines are, well, classic.

    old school, you just cant beat the class or style of a old cruiser, lets face it, the r.t charger is the best car ever made.

    If you say so.....

    Old School for me, although I'm a pretty big fan of retro-techs (old car, modern engine).

    What i do hate with a passion, is massive dinner plate wheels on old/classic cars. Not Cool!

    depends on what people define as old skool
    I like the early model Commodores, but as said above by someone else - dinner plate 20 something inch wheels look stupid on early girls. 17inch max

    I prefer to look and timeless style of classic cars however I wouldn't ever own one other than as a showcar that gets driven once in a blue moon. Too unsafe for my liking, rolling death cans with no crumple zones, airbags and also missing all the modcons. Oh and by classic I don't mean no old bogandores....

    What's the fascination with chargers?

    Massive, horrible suspension and turn like the QE2?

    At least Aussie muscle cars go left and right.
