Out of all the options, I'll have to go with the Challenger. It's because I already prefer Mopar muscle cars over other brands, and it looks very similar to the original Challenger, which I like.

 

[JR98]

Does the Mustang include Shelby versions? If so I would go for the '05-09 Mustang, as I love the 2008 GT500KR, but if not I'll go with the 2015 Mustang. The best looking of all the current muscle cars IMO and has pretty decent performance.

The Mustang includes all versions. I kept it very general, so you can choose a Shelby Mustang, a base Mustang, or any other Mustang that is not aftermarket.

I wouldn't consider the SS a muscle car. It's a sports sedan.

I wouldn't consider the SS a muscle car. It's a sports sedan.

I was on the fence about adding it to the poll. It has a muscle car engine, though.

That doesn't make it a muscle car though, does it?

 

[Leadfoot530]

I'm honestly a Ford guy, and I'm not that big into Mopars, but I have to give it to the Challenger. Based off it's, they didn't reinvent it; still resembles the original, but it looks and drives like a modern car.

I guess not. Too late to remove it from the poll.

 

[Jahgee]

Chevrolet SS, because it's apparently not supposed to be an option

 

[Cowboy]

I chose the '05-'09 Mustang, though the GTO is a close second.

 

[Casey]

GTO gets my vote.

 

[LivingWithGames]

I choose the latest mustang, 2015. I prefer it's enw looks, there will be always people that don't like it but, me? I'm in love with it, it's been properly revived, the front and rear ends of the car fits me pretty damn well. Stylish and fast, and badass looking.

 

[MisterWaffles]

I like the new 2015 mustang the best. Looks amazing to me. As for the Challenger it seems too large for my tastes, and the Camaro just isn't as good as the 'stang this generation.

 

[AudiMan2011]

2015 Mustang, because it can finally be officially bought in the UK in RHD, with a V8, for similar prices to an executive sedan. It looks stunning and the addition of IRS means that it can shake off the stigma of traditional muscle car handling.

 

[Dolph Drago]

I like how the Challenger still has that classic look.

 

[squadops]

I'll go with the challenger, in some way I think of the old dusters.

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

Hard to choose between the Charger and Challenger, but the Challenger has the more retro styling, so it gets my vote.

 

[Adamgp]

I'll take the 2016+ Camaro.

 

[Akwaaba]

Er ... none of them!
Certainly nothing with 4 doors.
So Mustang Vs Camaro Vs Challenger
er ...
Have to go with the Challenger - hopefully it is the least common.

 

[JAHHAJ]

Even though I love the Pontiac GTO, I had to go for the 2015+ Mustang, mainly because it's the first American pony/muscle (whatever you want to call it) car that I've seen commonly in the UK. Also the Shelby GT350 (Not including the R because I don't like the wheels or the spoiler) has to be one of the best looking American pony/muscle cars built since the 70's in my opinion.

 

[Tyger]

2005-2009 Mustang. Nice mix of the original and modern cues, svelte, clean lines, not too overly busy styling, lent itself well to the numerous special versions. Actually very meh about all the others in this poll. Incidentally 2009-2014 is technically the same gen.

 

[synchromesh]

Chevrolet SS for sure. It's got a Corvette engine in an unassuming sedan that can dominate the track.

Your favorite modern muscle car out of a list that I have chosen for you, and if the one you like is not there, tough.

Fixed for you.

My favourite modern muscle car is the Viper.

 

[The87Dodge]

Fixed for you.

My favourite modern muscle car is the Viper.

That, like the Corvette and a few others, is more super car than muscle car.

 

[daan]

any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving

The Viper fits that definition more than the SS or the Charger.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Of the options available, I went for the Challenger. I liked the Mustang quite a lot when they first did the retro thing, but the styling is to chunky compared to the original. Even in the UK I see the odd Challenger, and it always turns my head. There aren't many cars that make my wish list that aren't from Bavaria, but the modern Challenger is one.

 

[TS050]

2015 Mustang. Challenger is a close second due to the literally stupid Hellcat.

 

[All Your Base]

GTO because Australian V8 imported to America.

Second would probably be the 2011- Charger because of that monstrous Hellcat (it currently holds the title of fastest production sedan) and it has great looks IMO.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

GTO because Australian V8 imported to America.

More like American V8 imported to Australia that was then put into coupe and then exported to America. But I digress.
