yaa MustangMan's right,
the Camaro is great but the mustang is too gud & therefore it must be included in the list.
Let me give u an example....

AMATMO · 27th December 2007, 18:56

i sugest the shelby GT 500
guys how can you add to the list now
i am sure if you include this car atleast 50% or more of the votes will shift from the camaro as these cars are similar in design its just about brand appeal

The Camaro seems to have the Razr Sharp Edgy look to it....Id definitely vote for the Chevy Camaro!

Camaro for me and i love the same color in Transfomer .
So Camaro plus Megan Fox for me.

Centro-P · 28th December 2007, 10:00

My profile picture says it all! Dodge Challenger for me. I wish they could bring back the Dodge Charger back(my fav muscle car of all times).

I was planning to put 'Chevy Camaro with megan fox'

But that would have been grossly partial and garnered 100% votes.

camaro it is for me, but the interceptor has 4 doors it seems from the pic on top.

Spinnerr · 28th December 2007, 16:40

SRT Dodge Charger, I think someone should put a decent pic of this muscle in here... black one looks swell

cheers: Dodge challenger, period. That machine still has some old school muscle looks to it. tha camaro was much more attractive decades back.

RPMPKDMFF · 18th February 2008, 18:16

Modern Muscle... The Charger, Camaro, Challenger and then the Interceptor. In that order.

devarshi84 · 21st January 2009, 00:15

They recently launched the Challenger SRT with HEMI 6.1. The press is all gaga over it.

paras211 · 21st January 2009, 00:43

buying a new car .I ll vote for kung fu.
A 60s-70s american muscle--YEAH BABY!!! thats the way to roll

aaggoswami · 21st January 2009, 08:01

I have voted for Japs. Whatever the Americans do, the Japs remain more fun. The americans bank more upon large capacity motors to give muscle. I think the Japs do a wonderful job of providing good performance cars that are enjoyable.
Its not always about highway drags, but its also about the pleasure and involvement in the drive.
The three cars I love, and the cars that were appreciated by the American motor magazines ( which was disliked by many american readers ) are
1) Mitsubishi Lancer Evo ( reached saturation in engine department ).
2) Subaru WRX.
3) Nissan GTR ( earlier it was Skyline GTR which according to many, was a Legend ).

abhiram7912 · 21st January 2009, 08:09

i m a sucker for the charger, just because of its looks. it just looks mean and fierce. i cannot say the same for interiors.

does anyone own a 2006 - now charger r/t or srt8. i need some advice abt that because the are available cheaply and my heart is saying get one, but i m afraid it will not be a good car to drive in north easter united states winters.

Are you for real?

The Evo, WRX and GTR are in a totally different league. They have absolutely nothing to do with muscle, leave alone American muscle.

Muscle cars mostly have high displacement high horsepower engines with gobs of torque and a heavy duty transmission to withstand that torque.

Comparing Evolution to muscle cars is like comparing apples to oranges.

The Japanese have a different way of making cars enjoyable to drive. While the Evos and STi's are mostly rally derived cars with great handling, muscle cars have more to do with retro looks, great sound and that big V8 in front. Once you drive one of these, you know they mean business.

It's a totally different experience driving down some of the endless highways with that V8 growl in your ears, surrounded by a 70's retro interior and listening to some good old country music while you're at it.
