Is a grand prix considered a sports car?

Linda

Answer
No, the Pontiac Grand Prix was never a sports car. At best, the early models from the 1960's and 1970's was a luxury touring coupe, and the most recent models were just a fancy trim package on the basic mid-sized Pontiac sedan.

Is the 1999 Viper a muscle car?

RX7 DRIFTE

Yes we all know it's a sports car. Alot of sports car fall under the muscle car category and vice versa. And if it isn't a Muscle car and rather a Super car or exotic car of that time then wouldn't that mean the 1999 Saleen Mustang S351 is a car of that class. This Mustang is superior to the Viper GTS.
Viper GTS
Hp: 460
Torque: 490
0-60mph: 4.6 seconds
Top Speed 185 mph

Saleen S351:
Hp: 495
Torque: 490
0-60mph: 4.4 seconds
Top Speed: 190 mph

Answer
Bobby Jim nailed it. Neither are muscle cars.

Muscle cars were mid-size vehicles from the 1960's with large displacement engines. The Pontiac GTO is a prime example.

The Mustang was a "Pony Car." Long nose, short deck, small to medium sized. Other examples are the GM F-bodies and the Plymouth Barracuda.

Why kind of car is super fast for cheap?

sports cars 1960 image

Q. Don't tell me thy I'm not gonna need it just tell me what kind of car is like late 60s to early 80s and super fast I want 300 horsepower or higher and I have 5k to spend it must look awesome and I don't care if it's a muscle or a sports car please help.

Answer
It is very apparent you have done zero research.
None of the cars that meet your requirements from the 1960's into the mid 1970's can be had for $5,000. I mean none.
Say you are looking for a 1970 Pontiac Trans Am. 400 cu. in. engine. Car in the link below will cost you $42,000. 1971 Pontiac Trans-Am will cost you $39,995.
Cars built later than 1973 or so saw reduce horsepower ratings to deal with pollution laws. Hard to find a car that put out 200 horsepower.
If you did find a cat that meets your far fetched requirements, it will need upwards of $20,000 for a decent restoration.
Car you feel you need can not be had for a measly $5,000.

WHAT do i need for a tune up on a 2000mitsubishi montero sport es?

jimmy

I havent done a tune up in years, and that was on 1960's era cars, this looks totally differnt under the hood. i got plugs and wires and fuel and air filters, im i missing anything?

Answer
Dielectric grease to put inside the spark plug boots. Prevent them from welding to the plug. And you'll need a torque wrench to tighten the plugs. That's a huge change from the old days when you could just wrench them in. With aluminum head, wrong torque can rip the threads out. Over and under torquing has serious consequences.

Can you name every single american sports car?

sports cars 1960 image

enigmaiasm

Whoever names them get the 10 points. I would give thumbs up if I was on level 2, lol.

No muscle cars.
These days it's more of a marketing tool, but the definition is: A low small usually 2-passenger automobile designed for quick response, easy maneuverability, and high-speed driving. -Webster

Answer
If you define "American Sports Car" as a Two-Seater with a soft top or retractible hard top, and limited to vehicles produced since the 1960's, here's my list... not in any particular order...

Corvette
Dodge Viper
Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice (same car different trim)
Cadillac XLR
Shelby Cobra (not mustang)
Chrysler Crossfire
Ford Thunderbird
Plymouth Prowler (More of a hot rod than a sports car)
American Motors AMX (Hard top only, no convertible)

I'm sure there were a few more, but that's about all I can think of...

What kind of car was it that Angelo bought on switched at birth?

Strawbabee

I was watching the tv show switched at birth and this character named Angelo bought this classic car? Does anyone know what kind of car it was I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Answer
It took me forever to track down a video of that episode, but I finally found it on Hulu. Its the first episode of season 2, and there's a good shot of Angelo's sports car at around 9 to 10 minutes into the episode.

The small emblem of two crossed checkered racing flags on the side is a dead giveaway. That's a Chevrolet Corvette. I can't give you the exact year, because the model looked similar through a number of years, between the late 1950s and early 1960s, but it's roughly a 1960.

Here's a photo of a 1960 Corvette for you to compare, the same color as Angelo's: http://www.buyavette.net/New%20Pictures/181407.jpg
