Another good choice. I've always preferred the Charger (and the other mid-sized Mopars) because they are more practical... more interior room and luggage space.
But I certainly wouldn't mind owning a 440 'Cuda!

Isn't the 'Cuda a pony car?
Fanatic
Yes, it is. Along with the Challenger, Camaro and Mustang and a few others.

I know it. And I take advantage of it when I can. It is still 68 outside! It always amazes me when it does that (the warm Santa Ana winds).

What about the 426 hemi engine? I think it's even more powerful. Isn't it?
Fanatic
Yeah, more powerful but the 440 makes a better day-to-day car. Less frequent tune-ups and its maximum torque is at 3200 rpm compared to the Hemi's 4000 rpm.
Overall, though, the Hemi is the more impressive of the two.

Too bad its American other wise I would have said Ford Falcon GT-HO Phase III (beats any other muscle car hands down). But since its American i would have to say Shelby GT500 as they were the 'best' off the shelf Mustang, as well as their rarity or Shelbyt Cobra(if u can count it) because of its prestige, looks and car that could handel (in relation to other US muscle cars).
I want to die in my sleep like my Grandma, not screaming like the other 3 people in her car.

It has to be the '68 Charger R/T with a Hemi and a 4-speed.
Looks good, goes fast, sounds right. Just what a mucle car should do.

Ford Falcon GT-HO Phase III is far too ugly according to my tastes. Sorry mate.

Too bad indeed, because the all-round high performance qualities that made our own 1960s & '70s supercars into such effective track weapons, also transposed into a superior (ie faster) machine for road use
Taking one example; when adjudged by the more credible performance data already posted, its hard to believe the fastest version of a 100% stock-standard as-delivered Dodge Challenger (426 V8 Hemi eg) as being any quicker than a corresponding version of our Valiant Charger Hemi - whether judged in a straight line, let alone around a track or indeed for fast road driving. This despite the Valiant not even being a V8!
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

excellent point! Thanks

Buahahahah. best laugh I'll have all day
I know its not really a muscle car, but others have been naming pony cars. Shelby GT350: stops and turns like a true sportscar, and its dead sexy as well.
