Duster 340 not a muscle car...
I would say it is a muscle car because the factory said so.
The rapid transit system ad campaign was created for a reason.
more importantly ....I say who cares what your "friend" says. I went to auto school with boys from every walk of life with just about every stupid idea anyone can think of.
Unfortunately this has to be a hobby and profession that includes people running the mouth often more than the wrenches, so who cares. When your in you duster on a nice quiet road, maybe with a significant other.....all you will be thinking then is "yea, Plymouth makes it" :) and that is all that matters.
As pointed out in this thread, people from other car groups have different ways of thinking.
I recently got involved with a Cadillac group because I now have a 64 Cadillac and those people think WAYYYYYY different than anyone I know in the A-body crowd. To these people an A-body would be an inferior economy car compared to the "wine taste of perfection". LOL
I know they think it but luckily everyone in the group has more tact than that and even if someone did say it........I don't care!!!
