A muscle car will always be the late 60s/early 70s cars that were ideal for racing.

My personal top 5:

1. 1969 Mustang Mach I 390 (I still weep that I sold this car)
2. 1969/70 GTO with the trip-deuces.
3. 1969 442
4. 1967 Chevelle (427 engine)
5. 1971 Road Runner

I'm on a waiting list for a 2007 Shelby, though I doubt I'll ever get it as on 30 are coming out here.

I love it - the ultimate modern muscle car.

I'd have to say that any V8 Firebird, Mustang or Camaro comes to mind when someone says "Muscle Car," particularly my old 2000 Pontiac Formula LS1. However, other cars are the Mopar Muscle cars such as the Dodge Chargers, Dodge Challengers and Plymouth Barracudas. The Olds 442 also comes to mind, as does the Chevelle, the Pontiac GTO and the like.

IC, this whole thought sharing thing has to stop. I think we're starting to freak people out.
