Update 2/17/14, I'm changing this thread to some other car that hasn't been suggested yet. This was a thread for the 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS, but I changed it to the Mercury Capri RS simply because I found out the hard way that someone else already had a suggestion (and misspelled the car's name). I just wanted to clear that out just in case some comments posted confuse you. So, if you don't like this new car, you may dislike the page if you want.
My replacement suggestion is the Mercury Capri RS. It's kinda funny, instead of getting the Euro capri in the 80s, Ford of the US decided to make their own Capri based off of the Foxbody Ford Mustang. Anyway, it's another Mercury that I really like.
Note, 200 hp may not seem a lot for a muscle car, but you gotta admit that it's light for a muscle car and still has a decent amount of torque.
Specs:
Engine - 5.0L Windsor V8
Drivetrain - Front Engine, RWD
Transmission - 5-Speed MT
Power - 200 hp (149 kw)
Torque - 285 ft-lbs (386 nm)
Weight - 3055 lbs (1386 kg)
