As an owner of a 1984 Corvette, I can say its the most fun one will ever have with 200 hp. My car has the Z51 handling package and it rides like it on rails. It's a joy seeing the LCD dash work and the pop up headlights complete the entire package. It's a great highway car and I could do long multi-day road trip with it. If Chevy went a different direction with the Corvette in 1984, then it most likely would've died in the 80s
@@IdealMediaChannel It's well worth it, plus the early 84-89 cars are the cheapest of the C4s. I got my 84 for around 5k. In 1990 they changed the interior and went back to analog gauges with a fighter jet inspired dash. In 1991, GM updated the exterior with rounded edges and changed the engine the gen I L98 350 to the gen II LT1 5.7. The later cars typically go for over 10k and ZR1s go for around 25-30k
@@michaelbutkus4790 I bought an 84 that had sat for 9 years 60k original miles almost untouched just had grand sport wheels I paid 3.5k got it to start and idle for a few seconds and sold it for a bit more to my dad who redid the fuel system and the car is amazing

@@adamsutherland7875 maybe so, but I’ll tell ya one thing. 20 + years later, you see a lot more GT New Edges out and about than Catfish Camaros, so maybe they aren’t THAT bad
@@BryanSalazarAyala They're definitely not bad, LS1 was just a big leap ahead of the competition is all. Took a while for Ford to catch up. I actually dont know why 4th gen Camaros are so rare nowadays. Maybe they've all just been driven to death lol. Idk.
9:00 I knew as soon as I saw that engine bay that there's a number of issues with that car. Because it's front wheel drive, and has a V8 under that hood, there'll be a lot of torque steer. Meaning that the car will try to go in a different direction if you try to accelerate hard. It happens with almost all FWD cars with plenty of power, regardless of what's under the hood e.g Mazda Speed 3. Secondly, because it's a big engine in a front wheel drive platform that ordinarily shouldn't have a bigger engine than a 3.6/3.8 v6, they could be a nightmare to work on. But if you can overlook those issues, the LS engines are bulletproof and sound great, and tuning isn't impossible.
The torque steer is not that bad at all. You can make it 400hp and it can still be a daily driver. They arent too hard to work on either. You just have to get passed the engine being sideways 😂
Don't forget that they used the same v6 transmission that could barely handle the L67 engine. Most are in thr junkyard or for sale with a blown transmission. Total fail by GM. Had they made it rwd it would have been way better. I'll take the L67 3.8 supercharged engine over the ls engine any day.
I agree on the last entry got my 3v mustang for 7.5k with under 100k miles in california 2 years ago and it still running strong , beautiful and still gives me the same enjoyment as if I first got it 🚀🚀
Owned a 96 Ws6 and fair warning on those Lt1s. Be careful with the water pumps and distributor; they tend to be problematic. Those parts are close to each other, the water pump can leak onto the distributor leading to failure. Lt1s are great if you take care of them.
Putting the LT1's on here makes no sense to me. 98-02 WS6's and Z28/SS's have the LS1 which is not only more powerful, it's ridiculously reliable, and has a aftermarket 500x bigger than the LT. Like you could have just cut this whole video down to... 98-02 Camaro/Trans Am. Since they fit the budget, and outclass every car on this list by a substantial margin.
Gotta be honest, I've been wanting to get a hold of a muscle car to do some tinkering with. The Malibu has a certain appeal for the cyberpunk-ish vibe I have in mind. Might not seem the best, but, some aftermarket parts, some specialized digital dash gauges, maybe some chase-styled tail-lights, swap a lot of electronics out for some newer stuff, and I think it could work.
Some other oddball cheap muscle would be MN12 Fords, Mercurys, and even Lincolns. You got everything from the 5.0L Small Block, 4.6L 2V, 4.6L 4V, and even a supercharged 3.8L V6 that puts out 330 lb-ft. I got a '95 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC in college for $900, that's practically $3 per horsepower! The 300C and Magnum RT are also good options to shop for alongside the Charger.

@@IdealMediaChannel I wasn't insinuating that you thought old was bad, I was saying to me old is pre 1972, I love older cars that is why I bought a 1966 AMC Marlin lol. (Another possible option in the V8, Manual, RWD, under $10k option btw)

That's a pretty cool review. I like Ford products but I have to say I would choose a catfish over all of them simply because they can handle better than anything else on this list in my opinion.

@@IdealMediaChannel oh I know. I miss the days of fun junkers. And me personally I think it's people thinking too highly of what they own and trying to screw people outta more money. I see it all the time.
Eh, I can't blame sellers for putting whatever price people will pay for a vehicle. I did it with my GX470, I sold it for 2x what I bought it for! Would I have bought it for that price? No. But if the market demands it, I'm not gonna stop them.
They have some lists wit fun cars under 3k. I only make 45k a year and I'm able to afford a Focus ST and 350z at the same time, all about how you budget fam
I had a 94 Z28 with 2.73s and it had all the power of some modern cars in 2023 and then some. That LT1 had violent amounts of torque and a strong response to any mods like intake, exhaust, and especially higher flowing heads. GM has a lot of interesting motors. The LT1 had reverse flow heads, and that was a huge advantage for longevity. Another engine that's interesting is their 4.2 Atlas inline 6 from the Trailblazers in 2002.
Skip the Grand prix GXP, go for a Grand prix GTP with a 3.8l supercharged v6. Bolt in an intercooler, and change up the exhaust, cai, new spark plugs, and headers then drop the pulley size to a 3.0 and bam a bunch of HP and torque and a very light and fast car. They make for great sleepers.
Although I do find the 05 mustang as one of the modern day classics I think the 04 40th anniversary is really cool It almost gives you like a jet vibe idk maybe it’s just me
I bought a CLK 55AMG for 11k. Classic german muscle, with one of the best motors ever made. Car sold for 140k brand new and it was a convertible. There is a series of supercars from this era that have plummeted in price due to high maintenance. If you are a DIY'r there are a few worth a look. I did trade it in for a Mustang though lol.
The catfish camaro is 97-02 and was pacing a ls while the 93-96 was packed with a lt1. They can be built stout but let's not discuss the opti and the placement of them
yeah brother they slipped up on this one!!(WS6owner). there's a big difference between the two. the latter is now horrible but the opti spark situation definitely needs to be taken care of before the car to reach it's full performance/reliability potential. still a fan though!
Honestly, that LS1 Z28 Camaro blows away everything on this list. While I agree they can be ugly, so is every car on this list. The difference is, those Camaros have options off the factory line that made them not ugly. Sport Package ground effects. Chrome wheels. Different hood styles. Making it both the best performance car on the list, and arguably the most attractive. Pontiac GXP gets 2nd place.
i think you missed the last generation of Pontiac Firebird. They have a v8, popup headlights, rwd, and are pretty damn cheap. They might not look too good though 😅
We can only put so many cars in the vid, thanks to the response this vid got I am DEFINITELY doing another vid, and probably will have the Trans Am and Firebird in it!
Instead of a catfish if your looking for an awesome looking car that has the same power plant it would be a Pontiac fire hawk. It is a dead car brand and is loved by enthusiasts but it’s a great looking car with a nice couple v8 options for anyone.
Not even a mention of the 4th gen TransAm? You could have mentioned it when you were talking about the Camaro as in "if you can't find a Z28 or SS Camaro, look to it's brother from Pontiac and get a Formula TransAm or a WS6." and then showed a for sale page. It's not just you guys, it seems a like a lot of car sites (unless they are a dedicated T/A site) always mentions the Camaro and never the TransAm. Sorry about the rant, I'll step off the soapbox now. You guys do a real good job...most of the time.
Hey, you're being too nice, we do a good job... some of the time! I get it, and everyone's gonna have a preference on cars. Luckily, we make about 200-300 videos a year, I bet we bring up the Trans Am in a video soon!
5:31 now I love this car my dad got one and I become a Camaro fan for life but one thing I noticed was these particular Camaros hood and top is it a slight angle so it’s easier to steal all muscle cars by mustangs I’m from California to these are beautiful cars but out here they are used the worst way god bless America
In today's market, this is what cars cost. We could find crummy examples of these cars for under$5,000 but then you'd all be yelling at us for showing you high mileage salvage titled cars. 😩

4 k Canadian Dollars!
The Germans got really good at building muscle cars
The catfish camaro is 97-02 and was pacing a ls while the 93-96 was packed with a lt1. They can be built stout but let's not discuss the opti and the placement of them
yeah brother they slipped up on this one!!(WS6owner). there's a big difference between the two. the latter is now horrible but the opti spark situation definitely needs to be taken care of before the car to reach it's full performance/reliability potential. still a fan though!
Squidie,
I promise you're always there for us. I was about to start researching musclie minivans for overlanding. lol
I just bought a minivan for overlanding you might be interested in.... it's name... Delica. Follow my IG to see it in the coming days! @thesquidd
My friend had a grand prix gtp in high school. We smoked everything racing except the tuned diesel trucks
You forgot about the STS-V it’s supercharged 460-470hp I seen some for 10-16k and you forgot about the Pontiac G8 with the 6.0
great video
Thanks!
All are great performers
I wish there would be a good variety of awesome cheap muscle cars in Europe
A true Muscle car had TWO doors!!
Wassup my boy squid !!!!
Hi hi
A 1995 LT1 Camaro under 10k. I'd hope so. It's the 1998-2002 years that most people want.
Haha you got that right!
I got a 95 grand prix I switched to rwd and got a small v8 fixed
Honestly, that LS1 Z28 Camaro blows away everything on this list.
While I agree they can be ugly, so is every car on this list.
The difference is, those Camaros have options off the factory line that made them not ugly.
Sport Package ground effects.
Chrome wheels.
Different hood styles.
Making it both the best performance car on the list, and arguably the most attractive.
Pontiac GXP gets 2nd place.
Mustang all day!
Here's a suggestion: Cadillac CTS V
Doubt you can get under $10K right now but yes, amazing cars.
Here in germany u get the 5,7L V8 Hemi in the 2008 Challanger for around 15-20k
02-07 monte Carlo is amazing for the price
I found a few 68 mustangs under 9000
The charger is perfect for if you tend to be late to work.
The catfish isn’t ugly! It has its charms
i think you missed the last generation of Pontiac Firebird. They have a v8, popup headlights, rwd, and are pretty damn cheap. They might not look too good though 😅
We can only put so many cars in the vid, thanks to the response this vid got I am DEFINITELY doing another vid, and probably will have the Trans Am and Firebird in it!
@@IdealMediaChannel Oh, cool! Thanks! ❤
What about the 3rd gen Camaro/trans am they are pretty cheap on the market rn and the trans am has pop-up headlights
You might be able to find a Chrysler 300 cheaper and less-abused compared to the Charger.
I've talked the 300 so many times, I wanted to change it up, but true!
I'm just glad the infiniti m45 wasn't on here. We don't need price inflation on those right now.
Refreshing to see that the Squidd knows what’s up. The current ev adnausium is tiring. Let’s go.
This is basically the anti-EV vid!
@@IdealMediaChannel haha
you missed the panther chassis( crown vic/Grand marquis/town car),lincoln mkvii/chrysler 300c/dodge magnum
I always wanted a catfish so yeah. Pretty cool.
They are great for towing
Honestly every G body style car can be added to this list
That fox body's a pretty heavy Miata.
Instead of a catfish if your looking for an awesome looking car that has the same power plant it would be a Pontiac fire hawk. It is a dead car brand and is loved by enthusiasts but it’s a great looking car with a nice couple v8 options for anyone.
Best v8 cars under 15k would be a great video.
Not even a mention of the 4th gen TransAm? You could have mentioned it when you were talking about the Camaro as in "if you can't find a Z28 or SS Camaro, look to it's brother from Pontiac and get a Formula TransAm or a WS6." and then showed a for sale page. It's not just you guys, it seems a like a lot of car sites (unless they are a dedicated T/A site) always mentions the Camaro and never the TransAm. Sorry about the rant, I'll step off the soapbox now. You guys do a real good job...most of the time.
Hey, you're being too nice, we do a good job... some of the time! I get it, and everyone's gonna have a preference on cars. Luckily, we make about 200-300 videos a year, I bet we bring up the Trans Am in a video soon!
I'm honestly surprised about a mention of any fbody these days lol
5:31 now I love this car my dad got one and I become a Camaro fan for life but one thing I noticed was these particular Camaros hood and top is it a slight angle so it’s easier to steal all muscle cars by mustangs I’m from California to these are beautiful cars but out here they are used the worst way god bless America
I'd gladly take all of those except the catfish
Missin out!
Foxbody is my favorite car I have a 93 coupe that has a 427 LS th400 and a single 92mm turbo
Great video man
Make a part 2 and include the sn95 its definitely slept on
$10k is not cheap but $5k, that's cheap!
In today's market, this is what cars cost. We could find crummy examples of these cars for under$5,000 but then you'd all be yelling at us for showing you high mileage salvage titled cars. 😩
Pontiac firebird ws6 for sure
You guys Forgot The 09 Challenger
You more than likely won't find a cheap chevy chevelle cause they've all been modified and worth the price of a house, but they're still my favorite muscle cars
