personally i would say the plymouth superbird, amc javelin, buick GSX, pontiac gto judge, dodge hemi challenger, ford boss 429, olds cutlass 442, shelby cobra 427, and the corvette would be a split window i think 427, 71 chevelle 454ss. now these are all just personal preference good question by thwe way should ee some intersting responses oh and can't forget the civic sir hehe j/k obviously damn rice

Okay, the corvette was never considered a muscle car...I think it should have been...But hey what do I know....The mustang wins the americas favorite muscle car year after year...but imo it would have to be the ford thunderbolt. 70chevelle SS. Not a camaro person but a 69camaro would be one that I would drive...hehehe...The ford gran torino. Then of course most mopars...Not even going to start naming them...most of them lets just leave it at that. What else did I miss, oh the cobras, gtos. Well thats all I could think of right now...anyways peace. But believe me there are a whole lot more.

i am aware that the corvette was never a muscle car but neither was the thunderbird really or the cobras they were sports cars the true definition of a muscle car is 4 seats and big engine i think it has to be over a certain cubic inches to count or soemtihng but i think we can let that go and count them in here to, and another thing the mustang is not americas favorite muscle car noone can truly decide that it is all in personal preference, mcdonalds is also americas favorite fry that doesn't mean it's true. and the original muscle car was the cuda it came out like 2 weeks before the gto or was it after i dunno i think the cuda actually was 2 weeks late so in that case the gto is the original then came the cuda. the mustang wasn't even really a muscle car at the start it was a pony car a six cylinder and a 289 aren't exactly muscle car status. i do believe the mustang would have needed atleast a 351 to count and i am pretty sure that didn't come until much later on liek 67 or something

without a doubt I'd say the Mustang Mach I, SS Camaro, and the great Charger RT. The best of Ford, GM, and Chrysler. I'd give the cars medals on looks alone.

hooyeah usually i agree with u but z/28s only used to have 302s but they were for sure a muscle car a 302 would gladly lay waste to most even a mustang 302. I think a real muscle car just had to have the intention of selling towards teenagers, not too exspensieve and as much power in as little weight as possible.

' 68 Hurst Hemi Dart is the ultimate to me. Already the smallest, lightest Dodge, then add lighter fiberglass hood and fenders, lexan glass, acid dipped doors, and a race Hemi, and sell it at Dodge dealers with a disclaimer. May not have the lines of a Charger R/T, but it will spank one easily.

this is what the decal says, its in my year one catalog:
This car is equipped with a 426 cu.in. engine (and other special equipment). This car is intended for use in supervised acceleration trials and is not intended for highway or general passenger car use. Accordingly, THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD "AS IS" and the 12 month or 12,000 mile vehicle warranty coverage and the 2 year or 20,000 mile powertrain coverage warranty DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE.
