    Personally I would take the Z06 because it is the fastest of these three cars. Also the GT500 is surprisingly and disappointingly slow. It's slower than a normal Vette because of its porkiness.

    Corvette Z06 blink.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    The only one of those that's actually close to being a true muscle car is the Shelby, and even it is a pony car and not a true muscle car. The other two are NOT muscle cars, but rather technically are sports cars since they are only two-seaters, and are neither affordable, nor based on a normal "family" car (neither is the Stang).

    Now, the Dodge Charger and Magnum would probably qualify better for the muscle car criteria.

    +1.

    However, I'd still take the Viper out of that lot... wild

    Viper, technically it may not be a Musclecar but it's the most muscular rubber-burner hear.

    True. I would much rather have the car ('70 Dodge Challenger T/A 340-6 PAK) in IWantAnAudiRS6's avatar.

    Agreed, that'd be my choice too. There's nothing like a Viper.

    Nice, innit?

    A personal favourite. A real screamer!

    Another one of my favorites, I always liked the stock side-exit pipes on those T/A's.

    But my personal choice out of all muscle cars would be another Mopar: '69 GT/x convertible, 440-6, 4-speed, and icefire blue paint with white interior and top. Mmmmmmmm.
