Joe,

I have 06 GTO with a maggie. Absolutely love the car. I am waiting on the manual G8's to hit...supposed to be in 09. Finally a 4 door family sedan with a manual that has some grunt.

It may not fit the traditional definition of a true "musclecar" but...My daily driver is a 300C SRT8 (6.1) Hemi

Dead stock, you get 425HP, sub-5 second 0-60, 171 MPH top speed, gotta love it...

Mustang is a pony car and the new gto shares nothing with the old gto besides its name.The 300 is out too its a 4 door and lacks power.

lacks power??? you seem to not like any of these. do you have something better that will fit this category?

So, if 425 hp dead stock isn't enough....how much would it need to have before it would no longer be considered "lacking"?

The GTO is a bit lacking in style, but more than makes up for it in the sizzle dept. I wouldn't mind having one. I like the 300C as well, but I'm not a fan of the Charger, they look nice, but too many doors.

I wish that Pontiac or Saturn would shove an LS something into the Solstice or Sky, THAT I might spend money on.

The GTO has an LS2 with a Magnacharger, the C6Z has a filter and tune, 479rwhp. You gotta love modern muscle.

I have a newer Mustang GT and want to try and snag a 2008 Challenger when they hit the streets. I love new muscle as a DD.

I've got an '05 Mustang GT with a ProCharger, Borla exhaust with an offroad x-pipe, 3.90 gears, Eibach springs, Tokico D-Spec adjustable shocks, AP Racing brakes, and a couple of other mods. I love it! Very comfortable to drive, tons of power, and it looks pretty decent too.

It's tough to compare it to a classic muscle car though because it just doesn't feel, smell, or drive quite like one. I don't mind though since, I drive mine almost daily.

Here's a pic or two:
