I second this vote.

This despite the Valiant not even being a V8!

The fastest version of a 100% stock-standard as-delivered Dodge Challenger/Charger was mid-13s @ 105 mph 1/4 mile, with a top speed of 145+ mph. The Charger Daytona could go even faster... 160+ mph.

Could you imagine any big-block US muscle car keeping up with a GT-HO, Six-Pack Charger, or even the little 3.3 litre 6-cyl Torana XU-1, around Bathurst for 500 miles .. I think not

The big-block U.S. muscle cars, of course, were meant mainly for the drag strip. However, some have been in road racing/rallye courses and do better then many people think.
But for sheer power and torque and drag racing, the U.S. muscle cars were tops.

My faves are the Buick GSX, Dodge Challenger and Oldsmobile 442

Does the Duesenberg 'SSJ' count?

It's very classic. It's very American. And it's very muscular!

Too old isn't it? When the Duesenberg 'SSJ' was created I believe that the term muscle car wasn't existing. Therefore, I would have to say that muscle cars are those type of cars that among other elements they are also manufactured between early 60's and mid 70's. Any objection well accepted.

I've always been rather partial to the Super Bee/GTX/Road Runner trio...I'd want a '69 GTX convertible in Icefire Blue with white top and interior sporting a 440/6 and 4-speed thank you. Of course, they were also available with the Hemi...

I couldn't find the exact color combo, but it would look pretty similar to the '69 here:
