BS! No such thing as a "muscle car" any more. Never will be again. A muscle car is a stripped out base model car with a big honkin' motor. The second you give it power windows, locks, nav, cruise, 14 speakers, blah, blah, etc... you no longer have a muscle car. /end

iirc the SRT10 was just that.

Plus there was a limited Challenger (forget the edition name) that was beefed up and stripped down to be just that. No blower, but still a hefty machine.







Meh, these pseudo muscle cars are all bark and little bite, so pretty much I have to second that.

And muscle cars do not have plastic body panels.



THIS is a muscle car











This is NOT

Not really. Even though it had no luxuries, there was no inexpensive Viper. They all came with the same motor. The whole concept behind a muscle car was to do from the factory what someone might do at home as a project car... take a base model pedestrian car (some would call them "secretaries cars") and drop a huge motor in it. Ford tried to do this recently with the limited production Mustang GTS, but they failed to market it and took it's lack of sales as America saying it doesn't want that.

I meant the Challenger SRT10, but yeah. Was still a damn expensive car with a borrowed motor.

It was the closest thing i had at the time.
