Five Most Macho Cars?

I would replace the "Cuda" with a 1969 Mach 1 Mustang with 351 Windsor engine.
My neighbor has 2 of the 5.I so impressed he works on them himself and all his vehicles. He is a local surgeon.
A 427 Shelby (albeit kit car) he built himself. He also has an early 1980's Porsche 930. Interestingly his normal vehicle is a beat up Honda Pilot.

The closest I can come to anything on the list is a ride in my uncle's '63 Vette, as a kid.
1) Dodge Charger
2) (Stingray) Chevrolet Corvette (as to macho)
3) Original Hummer H1
4) 70s mustang
5) Viper?

I would replace 1969 Mustang Mach 1 with a 1970 or 71 'Cuda or Hemicuda any day, all day.
Just sayin'.

I'd put on there any Inline/V8 or V12 you have to crank over yourself.
That thing Jeremy Clarkson drove that had no valve covers or hood so you got hot oil on your face.
A 1930 era snowplow with no power steering, huge steering wheel, crashbox trans, and block & tackle plow lift.
A motorized bicycle built by oneself operated in city traffic.
A t-bucket kit bought from someone else's failed project with no instructions and 95% of the parts. Rolling with one of the least impressive smog era 100 hp 302ish inch V8s, with the vacuum hoses plugged with pencils and golf tees and a fufu air cleaner from pep boys.
so basically anything where you have to turn a wrench, have huge upper body strength, or stones down below.

Wonder how many of those cars would get whipped by a Japanese V6 midsize these days...

You misspelled "Boss 302".

Probably most of them, especially in the handling segment. But that's not why you buy them.

Get rid of the Porsche and put in the '77 Firebird Trans Am Special Edition with the 403 HO Olds and the factory available nitrous oxide option.

Exactly.
Although there were some 'sleepers' available this statement is absolutely true. The good old daze weren't as good as we thought!

I don't know about the five "most macho" rides, but going by just how much of a pariah I am considered when driving through my local town where the vast majority of vehicles are either; Priuses, new Beetles, stock, base Minis,etc. replete with equal sign, a certain POTUS campaign sticker, and rainbow stickers on them, I am guessing that my ride is considered a little TOO "macho" for the tastes around here!!
(To say nothing about the dirty looks given to me by the drivers of those said vehicles when I pass by at full exhaust song.)

None of these wimpy rides holds a candle to the Blastolene Special.
