Any new-age muscle cars?
Anyone else of you guys/girls got a new age muscle car.Cant beat them, great hp, handling, looks and great mpg.Im looking forward to seeing the new pontiac G8. not a lot of new cars come with a 5/6 speed manual, rwd, and over 400hp!

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... http://inlinethumb28.webshots.com/39...500x500Q85.jpg |
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.

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.
