To Be specific, this should be the 454 SS example.  The styling of this car simply amazes me, and I could spend hours just looking at the artistry of it all.  Close to 500hp at the crank stock, would run a 13 second quarter mile at 108 mph.  This. Is. Poetry.

Pros: Everything.
Cons: High cost to purchase a showroom example.

The 1970 Chevelle is a definite dream car. The car turns heads period. The rumble of the engine, sound of the exhaust - even just sitting at a red light - will get you more head nods and thumbs up than you would ever expect. The lines are clean on this car and even if the car were just primer colored people would stop to tell you how beautiful the car is.

Pros: Pure Muscle, Fast, Strong and it looks good.
Cons: Gas Guzzler, Small Interior, Extremely Heavy so good luck with fast reaction/emergency brakes, No stock rear sway bar - the car can become unstable at higher speeds.

This was my first car and one of the most fun to drive.  I ended up lowering it and it handled surprisingly well for such a big car.  It ran about 16s on the 1/4 without any mods.  Lots of memories.

Pros: Fun
Cons: None

the 1970 chevelle ss was one of the top ten fastest muslecars stock it ran 13 seconds in the quarter mile. it came with a 454 450 hp engine(you could also get other engines but it was the most powerfull) Mine hasa zz454 crate engine from gm the engine was built as a circle track race engine because it has 500hp and 540lb ft of tourque and is very light weight. it is also backed by tci streetfighter transmission turbo 400. dual 3inch mandrel bend exhaust. and it performs very well. the acceleration and top speed are great but at almost 18 feet long it handles like a boat

Pros: acceleration and styling
Cons: handeling

This was a car I rebuilt myself.  This car is true to the "take no prisoners" 454, with an 800-cfm Holley four barrel on an aluminum manifold, 11.25:1 compression, solid lifters, four-bolt mains, forged steel crank and connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, and deep-groove accessory pullies.  It has a Turbo 400 automatic and has Positraction which was an option back in 1970.   

She has matching numbers.  She has been restored to near mint condition.

Exterior is silver with black racing stripes down the hood and trunk.  Interior is black.

This beauty is obviously not my daily driver, but I do take her out of the garage on weekends.  She's been the best car I've owned thus far.  Find her stats below:

Engine:
V-8
Horsepower 450 @ 5600
Torgue 500@ 3600

Performance:
0-60 in 6.1 seconds
1/4 mile 13.7 @ 103mph

I would recommend the 1970 LS6 to anyone interested in a beefy, yet sultry muscle car.

Pros: Positives?  All of the above.  
Cons: Nada

I love it..this one i have has a PAR 565 cubic inch big block that has ran 9.67 at 134mph ..peddling it 3 times in the quarter...if i can get the correct set up it should go low 9,s and high 8,s on the bottle with any luck..the only thing i dis liked originally was how heavy it was..i cured that bye going all fiberglass except the roof now it weighs 2450lbs with me in it.

Pros: Styling..everyone knows a chevelle
Cons: heavy..hard to make fast with out a tin diet...but still quick from the factory

this car has a tone of power. many paople says its a very hot car but the problems are its hard to hande and has bad gas mileage but if your a good enough driver its possible to put it in any kind of street race at stock. It has 450 bhp and 500 lbs of torque and if you buy a 6 gear transmission for it it can go almost 300 km/h
overall I love this car

Pros: high power. looks nice goes fast
Cons: feul echonomy.handling. only 4 gears

Pure MUSCLE !!! It's an age gone by, it's to bad. The years 66 - 70 will be remembered as the "Muscle car age" where horse power out weighed handling, when gas prices were in budget, when mid size meant you could put 4 friends in your car and when engines were able to be worked on in your own garage.

Pros: It's a car of the past
Cons: Too bad there not made anymore
