How to get the MUSCLE car smell?

I dont know about you but when i'm driving behind a restored challenger or classic car... the smell is unbelievable....i love that smell..


why do those cars have such a great smelling exhaust??

is it the fuel?

Let's see, they have no cat, so you're inhaling some poisonous gasses, I'd say it's fu(kin with your brain.

Though summit does sell sented liquids to put in your gas tank.

I think it is the Hydrocarbons you are smelling, toxic. You would get the same smell if you removed the cat.


Man two people beat me to it.

I doubt it on the street, that stuff is rather pricey.
