90's "muscle car" choices?

In 1995, I ordered a 2WD Dodge Dakota, regular cab, reg bed, V8, 5 spd, 3.91 gear, HD tow group (just bigger radiator). Dealers rarely ordered them this way. I found one other one in my area and it was the one that I ordered at another dealership. I wanted to stay with Mopar. The other unique feature was that it was ordered without AC. All California dealers at the time were receiving V* trucks with AC...ALL of them. This truck was quick enough to handle 5.0 Mustangs stock-for-stock. It was cheaper than a 5.0 Mustang too. It beat Lightnings and 454SS trucks. However, it couldn't hold a candle to the LT1. The LT1 was a good package right out of the box. It would be very difficult for you to find a truck with a similar configuration as mine. I would just go for an LT1 car (Camaro or Trans Am).

Another cool car that has slid under the radar are the 92-96 Nissan 300Z's. Even the Turbo models can be had for cheap.
