Just_me, you posted this thread 15' ago, but you didn't vote??? Are you drunk or something?? j/k

dude the GT has 550 hp. and i think the Z06 is badass

¨

are you sure? it says 450bhp on the page were I found the pics.

I gave my vote to the Viper, pure american muscle car.

i voted for the 'vette. Even tho i don't like the whole muscle car idea, the Z06 is the least worst looking of all, so my vote goes to this

Z06 for me..it looks nice.. and from what i hear it handles well.. unlike the others..

1. Ford GT. The only true supercar here. Best design of the bunch.
2. Dodge Charger. A modern take on the classic muscle car (albeit with two doors too many). They really should bring this thing to Europe.
3. Dodge Viper. Not as outrageous now as the first one was when it came out and not as cohesive a design, impressive nonetheless.
4. Ford Shelby Cobra. The tuners make a whole lot better job of this than what we see here, and to top it off Ford really didn't give the new Mustang the styling details it would have needed. (I still like it somewhat, though)
5. Chevrolet Corvette. Undoubtedly the best Corvette ever, but the looks do absolutely nothing for me.

woooooooooo.....harshness to the Z06.............Just_me Im absolutily, positively sure that the GT has 550 hp.

You know Im talking about the Ford GT right?

z06 for me..... car has come along way to be one of the best everytime.

Based on look alone I would go with the Ford. Let's just call it GT. Ford kind of kills it. It's a great looking auto though.

It's a toss-up between three.

The Mustang is probably the least technically advanced, but hey, that probably doesn't count for so much when you're talking American muscle cars. It's a classic shape with classic proportions and instantly says 'muscle'. Somehow, it's probably my overall choice - if I wanted a muscle car, it's not so much purely for the performance (in straight lines or around bends), but it's as much for the look as anything else. If I want pure performance I'll get German or Japanese, though the Ford GT and Z06 are apparently really quite competitive. Plus, the Mustang's price should be reasonable, I assume.

The Ford GT comes next. I don't mind it being a Ford at all. The looks are decent, and I hear performance is good as well. IMO it's the car you'd get if it was important that you don't appear cheap to everyone else around, interior wise as well as rarity wise.

The Z06 is the bargain performance choice. It also has a classic Corvette look, and great performance. Its looks are more of any other sports car, though, low and sleek. Doesn't quite say 'muscle' to me.

Lastly, the Viper and the Charger. They don't appeal so much to me. The Viper somehow manages to look round and bulbous courtesy of the hardtop roof. It would need a bodykit or to be the convertible to fix that. Performance should be decent, not as bad as some make it out to be, but it's probably the infamy that would be a negative factor for me. Conversely, the Charger's slab-sided and too-long looks (partly from having 4 doors, IMO) also make it unappealing. I don't know much about the performance aspect of this car, but the looks already make it out of the running.

lol no I didnt but know I know what car you talk about - you're correct

The Ford GT is the best of those cars easily. More power than the Corvette and an aluminum chassis and MR layout. The Corvette is my pick for second though.

Yes I agree, I really like the look of the GT too - it has one of the best rear ends of any sports car in my opinion.

Hmm, for me it's tight between the 'Vette and Viper. But this is what i'd take any day over those two:



This car for sure doesn't have the performace like 'Vette, but i can't resist that look...

damn!!!!!!!!!!
AMAZING...STATS?

There's no other performance car that's more american than the Corvette.

I like this

Ford Shelby GT500

The Ford Gt is by far the sexiest American car ever made or concieved. Don't get me wrong, I love the charger SRT 8 along with the Corvette Z06 but nothing quite compares with this Detroit monster. I salivate everytime I look at it.

The Vette baby! That thing is beautiful and is fast!!!!!!!

I like it the best because I think it is going to handle the best.

Top gear tried the vette and they somewhat liked its attributes

i thing that Chevy Camero Concept is badass..sreriosly favo. american muscle now!!!

That Camaro is pretty hot!
I think American muscle cars are on the comeback, check out this new Challenger from Chrysler, talk about retro!
