Best muscle cars

Muscle cars were in a class all their own; the cars that dreams were made of. They came rumbling out of Detroit with character and style in the mid 1960's and would become a passion for generations to come. via Helium

I have a SD455 73 Trans Am ,and I have had many pontiacs over the last 30 years (7),... and I now own a SRT10 & SRT8 Charger. I know how fast the both cars are; and you need to drive an SRT8 Charger Before downing the Charger,(Opinions are like a**holes,..everyone has one).........

and isn't that what these boards are all about, opinions....the G8 goes up against the RT...not the SRT8....IMO the G8 GT is a better allaround package than the RT....i have driven them both....and i believe when the G8 GXP comes out later this year it will have the SRT8 trumped...ah, er....my OPINION...

In my Opinion, the 2009 Challenger later this year comes out with a 6 speed and 500hp,..In my Opinion will trump the Pontiac,..

Mopar or no car!!! I hate Mazdas!

[watcher]

Oh please...

Everyone knows that Ma Mopar invented the muscle car: 1955 Imperial (354 Hemi) and 1957 Plymouth Fury (318 with dual quads). Muscle cars were born in the mid 1950s, not with the pokey GTO (the 1960s first real snoozer).

No "muscle" car ever made is faster, or holds more speed records, than the 1970 Hemi Plymouth Superbird. Those cars are still so fast that the pansies at NASCAR & in Europe continue to outlaw them.

Ma Mopar still whoops'em all on wheels with the Viper, and next the Challenger.

Sorry to tell you the truth Mustangers... your's is, always has been, a great teen car (but not muscle).

Tough choice but I think I'd have the Buick 455 GSX crowned King of the Musclecars. Were there faster muscle cars - sure, but not very many and not by very much. The overall combo of thumping power in a beaut body with a stylish interior and good all round performance appointments minus childish cartoon gimmicks puts this one top of the tree for me. I'd also rate the Aussie E49 Charger. Different car to the Buick but a lightweight rocketship powered by a truely awesome motor, and one that proves you don't need a big block in a pony body to move it quicktime. Like the Buick this car was largely and unjustly overshadowed in the public imagination by its higher profile competition. Thankfully it is now getting the recognition that it deserves.
