Enough with the motion-sensing, self-parking, auto-open, beeping, flashing nonsense that is the common car of today. Most automobile manufacturers these days are set on trying to add more and more autonomy features and options. Not everybody wants a computer to control every aspect of their life, especially driving their vehicles for them. Some people miss the good ole days of manual shifting and having to look over your shoulder to see if your going to back into something. We want these bad boys back! Manual, heavy, loud and proud – the following 35 muscle cars are ones we want to see re-made. And at the end we’ll show you 10 muscle cars that can gladly stay put in the past. Do you agree with us?
Oldsmobile 4-4-2
First, let’s get the Oldsmobile 4-4-2’s pronunciation right. You’re supposed to say each number individually, so four-four-two. That’s because the original 4-4-2 features a four barrel carburetor, a 4 speed transmission (many cars back then were only three speeds), and dual exhaust. Seem a bit pretentious? Maybe but the 4-4-2 was a classy car that simply happened to offer a lot of muscle. In fact, the 4-4-2’s performance was good enough for it to be selected as the pace car for the 1970 Indianapolis 500. Sadly, Oldsmobile is no more so we’ll likely never see a new Oldsmobile 4-4-2 again.
