Default Muscle or Tuner?

We just had a debate in my College class about this and i got curious as to what everyone opinions are.

Would you Rather Have a Muscle Car? Or a Tuner?

Personally I would rather have a Muscle Car. I just like the roar of a muscle car and not the farting of a Tuner.

I have both Types in my Garage. My Monte is an All-American Muscle. Beautiful V8 Roar to it. My other car, a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon is a Tuner. Well...at least a tuner in the works. Only real mods are a sub, amp, radio, fart cannon and rims.

i'll take a muscle car, not a real fan of those stupid tuners. They're just loud and annoying. People up the street are tuner heads, got fart cans running up and down the road all the time

Technically my Monte Carlo is a tuner car. So I guess I will have to say Tuner?

Muscle all the way!!!... Although our cars are under powered granted, they are definately not a tuner by definition;

Web definition;

A tuner car, is an import automobile (i.e. Japanese, Asian or European manufacturers), with performance modifications. Modifications range from visual upgrades such as changing the rims, tinting the windows and installing bodykits, to a variety of performance modifications. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuner_(car)...


Unless Oshawa, Canada (where late gen Monte's were born) counts as an import, then this does not sound like my car...

Wait a minute, I did tune my PCM, Suspension, tranny and just this morning I tuned in a rock station... Nahhhhhh, it's still not a tuner...
