I want a muscle car just for the hell of it.
What's the best muscle car that's been released since 2010+?
Last muscle car was made in 1973.
The Challenger is about it. Chevy SS is another that competes. Some consider the Viper a muscle car.
A muscle car is unofficially a pony car with a big block motor in it.
A pony car is a 2 door RWD small block V8.
Be as it may, chevy set the standard with these two. It's just Ford perfected the pony car and Dodge perfected the Muscle car.

muscle cars are literally the same thing as the word coupe.
it's a selling point.
they aren't made anymore. you want a muscle? get a car, drop a big block fucking motor in it.
Muscle.

The 2012-2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE. Must be the 1LE model.
It hits the sweet spot of straight line performance, handling prowess, and price point. And it's 6 speed manual only
post more snek

half true to be honest, 1978.
>>13964322

Considering even the xu-1 which was an inline six was running better quarter miles than most American big block v8 muscle cars i think your point is moot.
Everyone knows a small block can make the same power as a big block simply because they can rev a good 3000RPM harder and not only that they are lighter meaning they are a better muscle car engine.

The Challenger SRTs are probably the most muscle car in the traditional sense of the term.
Powerful, heavy, but still comfy. Unlike its Mustang and Camaro counterparts, the Challenger has no delusions of being a racecar.
>>13964345
those are sports sedans not muscle cars.
kinda like an m5, just shittier in every way.
what if OP just wanted to see a bunch of pedantic fagg/o/ts shit themselves over a word?
>>13964435
No they are Australian muscle cars, they are just what American muscle cars wished they could be.

No, muscle cars are not the same thing as a coupe. You can't tell me a fucking 2 door Honda Accord is the same thing as a muscle car.

oh fuck off. Modern muscle cars are pretty good, even if the best ones are pricy (looking at you Hellcat and ZL1). Even 70s cars like the Mustang II and the Camaro are great if you know how to tune the engines to get around the shitty detuning they did back then.

>Proud of beating cars like this with a Mustang
Notice how no American cars won after 1973?
In any case the pony car is actually half decent, same with the 350 camaro, notice how they have no big block engine? can turn...
this is the only snek that actually matters. none of you fags will ever even drive a viper acr, let alone own one.

>Notice how no American cars won after 1973?
That's because American cars quit being ENTERED from '73 on.

Actually, in 1971? Bob Jane's Camaro was still running its big block 7.0L.

When the Tempest GTO came out it was marketed as a sporty touring car. They were mid-sized coupes with the full-sized sedan engines and handling packages. The highest performing of these cars were homogenization specials and were referred to as supercars in their time.
Pony cars are completely different class of car, and only the modern interpretation of these survived.
>>13964345
those muscle cars also had small block variants.
except those are just called cars.
>>13964639
Lol?
>>13964644
No it was running a 350 chev lol.
>>13964646
See though, a muscle car is defined as different because compared to something like a V8 Volante, it is lower cost and usually not designed to be luxurious.
What used to be the big Muscle Cars have now evolved into 4 door sports sedans, like the Dodge Charger and the Chevrolet SS. The Pony Cars have remained fundamentally the same, besides nearly 50 years of technological advancement and design evolution.

The ZL-1 engine was banned. And then the car was banned.
>>13964788
Only in 1972.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1972_Australian_Touring_Car_Championship
>Defending champion Bob Jane won his fourth and final Australian Touring Car Championship in his Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1. Unlike 1971 when Jane's Camaro used the 7.0 litre 427 V8 engine, CAMS rule changes reducing the engine capacity limit to 6000cc him forced to run the 5.7 litre 350 V8.
Had the pleasure of driving a Hellcat recently. I will definitely own one eventually.

op challenger hellcat is only proper muscle car on the market but you could also probably get away with a gt500 or a zl1
>>13967786
