what is the #1 muscle car and why ?

'67 Corvette tri-power. It has been the most sought after classic since the late 70's. Even more so than 57 chevies, or any camaro, chevelle, or mustang.

69 Camaro with a 396/425 HP Big Block Chevy, and just for joy and juice a Paxton Blower, a 5:13 rear end, 10-T Rock Crusher, M-50s on the back end. And, yes, it get 8 miles to the gallon when you drive it carefully, but stomp on it and that *bi*ch* FLYS!

#2 would be in the same class, but it is a Factory Car, the 1971 Chevelle SS, 350 CID, Turbo Hydromatic, 4:11 rear end, again the big M-50. 11 MPG/City 17/MPG Highway. Punch it and all they are going to see is your tail lights.

Blew away an AMC Javelin with mine way back when. Heh heh heh. He chased me all over the north side of Chicago.

1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6, 450 Horsepower, with Muncie M-22 "Rockcrusher" transmission. Highest factory rated horsepower of any 60's/70's era muscle car.

Pontiac Grand Am is the last of the muscle cars. So I'll go with Pontiac. Dodge Charger 1977 is great too.

Modern production muscle--meaning it came from the factory hotrodded out?

I'd have to say Unique Performance's GT 500 E Super Snake:

Good in a straight line and not much else--but what a nice straight line they make!

i'm 57 yrs. old, was a real gearhead,look into the early cobra,s before the mustang. don't remember the figure but it went 0 to 100mph to a complete stop in record time. it could keep up with a farare on the track. came with 289cu, 427cu, and i think a428cu. 427 had 2 4barrels 425hp

Mustangs have the house power, the muscle, and just have a great look. I remember, just to ride in one, and hear the engine roar, WOW! it really was exciting! Chevy's just don't have the same pizazz as Mustangs do. I sure love th early look. 65, 66, too too sexy!

Lots of muscle cars look the same, that's why my pick is the Corvette Stingray.

a 1971 hemi dodge challenger,with a super-charger,factory horse-power rating was 525 horse-power with over 400 ft pounds of torque at the rear wheels,,estimated speed,,,i,ll put it this way,it registers 160 mph,,and i broke the speedo- cable at 158-mph,and my passenger had to change his pants,,when we got back home,this car has no add on,s what so-ever,except for a different set of wheels.

1970 Plymouth super bird , the highest horse power for production car ever put out
