Nice list. But you left off the best muscle car America has on the market today.
556 HP.
Shoot. I'd be happy with the grocery getter version....
Ford has done the best job with the retro cars. I guess they learned when they royally screwed up the T-bird.
Mustang is the best.
Challenger is pretty good.
Camaro is bloated, and overpriced.
Charger is a pig.
Tbird was underpowered, and just didn’t work.
Oh, and I forgot the GTO, because it’s so forgetable.
It was a decent car, but in no way was it a GTO.
Certainly the "muscle cars" are in a class by themselves, but if you think way back, 20 years or thereabouts, the whole 60's nostalgia kind of got revived with the introduction of the Brit-roadster inspired Mazda Miata. Without it, and its success, I doubt VW would have reintroduced the Bug, certainly the current crop of BMW roadsters would probably not have sprung up in the way they have, and while these new Musclers may have eventually stirred, I don't think it would have been quite as soon or with the same vigor from the manufacturers. JMHO.
