What is the best muscle car ever?????!!!!!!!!!!

[Ghoste]

And Corvettes are sports cars.

[twodko]

Mine.

Time has blurred the lines a LOT as to what a musclecar is Nacho.  I agree with you but I think we are the minority anymore.

[70rr 69ch]

just saying it depenes on your definition of a muscle car.The lines have been blurd,but if a cuda or mustang are muscle cars what happened to the pony cars.All you need to do is look at the back seat.Just saying     

[Ghoste]

No argument from me.  Like I said I am in full agreement, I think the public at large though don't see it the way we do.

They never made a muscle car after 1974.  Unfortunate end of an era.

[Cooter]

So a smaller car with a HUGE engine cannot be a musclecar huh? Well There's ALOT of HEMI Dart/Barracuda guys that would beg to differ. As well as the Cuda/Challenger guys. "pony" car was a term coined for the Freakin' Mustang. Just because the cars appear to look alike, that doesn't mean they are alike.
I can bet there are some SS 396 Camaro guys that would strongly disagree with the above statements as well. Anything with a huge engine, basically has enough power to be dangerous to drive IMO, deserves and earned the name Musclecar.

[JB400]

The term "musclecar" has been loosely defined over the years.  Some say it started with the 64 GTO, while others say the Chrysler 300 started it all.  I strongly believe it's just a matter of opinion.  Anymore, I believe the term "musclecar" now applies to any performance car that is not a 4 door, or a 2 seater sportscar.  But, by original definition, it is reserved for a midsized car with a full sized engine as defined be the 64 GTO.  For the record, 4 door performance car is called a sports sedan.

Please don't hang me

it is what it is, even pony cars owners ( and lot of the marketing world ) won't like

In fact a CHARGER with a 318 IS NOT a Muscle car either by definition, just R/Ts or maybe even all Big Blocks

[1974dodgecharger]

people think a big engine is a muscle car, but in reality a smaller compact, fuel efficient, is a true muscle car.

1981 shelby charger, 2.2l, turbo, 900hp of muscle....

I fixed it for you.  Your 0 got stuck.

I would call that a dragster.

[Ghoste]

You're right Nacho, a 318 Charger is most definitely not a musclecar.

Don't hate the playa, hate the game. Argue that in the court of public opinion and see how far you get....

[4cruzin]

I think this one holds some weight . . . .

[1974dodgecharger]

Does not look like a shelby charger to me.....

I think this one holds some weight . . . .

LOL, I'm agree I will loose the court opinion... as many true statements did allong the history ( ask Galileo, for example LOL )

I use to be on the "looser" side of the game, but with the real arguments I'm in peace

corvettes, mustangs, camaros, novas...they sold a ton of cars. But what is the best looking muscle car of all time

As much as I love 69/70 Chargers......the 63 Vette, trumps all IMHO

I have always liked the slpit window coupes. I still like 69 charger better, but those are very cool. I heard that people used to remove the divider in the back window.

[scat pack fever]

On this site?  What answer did you think you would get?

It looks like I got more non charger responses than we thought.

[johnnyseville]

Best Looking I would have to go with 68-70 Charger, runner up 1971 Ford Mustang Mach I with the Boss 351, loved the extreme fastback, quick too.    Fastest  1969 ZL-1 Camaro, sorry :'

[1969chargerrtse]

That's like asking who's the prettiest women?  To many are equally perfect. 68/70 Mopars and GM, pony and mid size. No way one stands out as the best.
