What muscle car would you buy?

Maybe a Good Friday night topic but.... I have a while but I’m thinking about buying an American muscle car. I can’t get a demon or shelby or ZL1 so don’t recommend some 80,000-90,000 track car. I plan on keeping my existing 4Runner and driving it into the ground. Whatever muscle car I get will be a fun, rub it with a cloth diaper weekend car Eventually when I retire decades from now maybe show it around. I will keep it for the rest of my life. Which would you buy if you had your choice of the following:
Dodge Challenger R/T
Ford Mustang GT
Chevy Camaro SS
Used Corvette Stingray
Dodge Challenger R/T
Ford Mustang GT
Chevy Camaro SS
Used Corvette Stingray
Rockwall, Tx LBGE, Minimax, 22" Blackstone, Pizza Party Bollore. Cast Iron Hoarder.

Nothing made after 1972.

The Stingray will probably hold the most value over time especially if you plan to hold on to it.

IF they made it, a 450hp V6 Ecoboost Mustang.
No need whatsoever for that boat anchor V8.
Not to forget the Ford GT gets near or just above 650hp from a V6. And nobody is complaining that's too slow!
Cost no object? An L-88 Corvette. Shelby 350 (original) or a 'new' Shelby, which I learned in Vegas (factory there) can still be had NEW and called a '66 or maybe '67.
The modern 'paddle shift' auto has convinvinced me that Manual Transmission is going away. -

Dodge Demon or Nissan GTR

Reading is fundamental.

Those options are all basically the same performance wise. It’s just a matter of which one speaks to you more. You can’t go off of others recommendations, it has to be solely about what puts a smile on your face.

My old Buick Grand National or my 74 Nova SS witha ls6 conversion

The newest Mustangs have a beautiful rear, and I'm a butt man, so that's what I'd go with.
Had a '71 Rustang but it was hardly a muscle car, just kinda looked like one. And it wouldn't've lasted into my retirement even now.“The best way to execute french cooking is to get good and loaded and whack the hell out of a chicken."

If cost was no object then a Pagani or a Koenigseegg.

Nice Chevelle Yolk.
Muscle cars died in the 70s, lots of greats in the 60s.
The cars you listed are really more modern performance than muscle. Nothing wrong with 'em if that's what you like and they are pretty civilized daily drivers with lots of go.

From those choices, I'd pick the stingray. If you can pay cash, or find a way, I'd buy a classic something over any of those choices any day.Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

I’d love an old challenger or charger but I don’t have 60,000 for the one I want. I like the mustang and new challenger lookwise but I like the power of the ss Camaro.

Rereading, I would get a Tesla Model S 90D to stay US, but since Daimler and Chrysler once were joined, I think a Mecrcedes C63 AMG S Coupe would work.

I like all 4. I’m not brand loyal. I would be happy with any of those choices.TEXASBGE2018 said:Which would you buy if you had your choice of the following:

On a separate note, if I had the money that most of the high rollers on here have, I would buy one of each

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

My Dad's buddy just got a Demon. 840HP.Ozzie_Isaac said:Dodge Demon or Nissan GTR
I like the modern approach with the trim, dash, sequential lights etc, but I'm in the American old school muscle camp. There is no substitute, and so many options, car or truck.
Out of the choices, Stingray, all day(Pre 70s).

I did. US made, less than 80K. Tesla fits the bill. Mercedes not so much, but I gave a caveat.JohnInCarolina said:

I wouldn't get any of those 4. I have had a mid tier muscle car and always wished I had the faster version, but that is me and I drive a Jeep, so my judgement is already questionable.
