Not saying the muscle car is dead, just not as alive as it use to be lol

Hellcat or demon screams out scary power and brings back what some of use loved about muscle cars (which was crazy power lol)

This is true however it had so much potential of being a bad ass Mopar back in the day. The Darts of today are just way to econo for me.

Again, I think the Impala is a better example.

Charger should be the best example, it went from cool 2 door to regular 4 door and that was super disappointing (especially for me as I loved chargers growing up)

I remember loving the charger when I was kid, I was watching bulit with my dad and watching the charger chase the fast back pony car was something that got me excited (this was before vin diesel destroy his in the FnF1 movie lol)

my dad once took a road trip to Madison Wisconsin from Chicago Illinois to see a friend with his roommate in his mustang and how my dad was still so amazed by how his roommate was able to drive stick, smoke and eat fried chicken all at the same time non stop driving over night

Another story was how he and a few friends couldn't find a summer jobs in Chicago due his university having a later release time for summer break, so they went up to New York with a just a contact as well enough money to get there and that was it

After the summer they decided to chip in to this very cheap and unreliable nova for a road trip back to Chicago for the new semester and the car ended up going to one of this friend that needed a car (cuz his friend chipped in the most money lol)

I'm not saying that today's cars aren't great but some cars speak to u and u can feel it (not sure if any of u have this feeling), like modern BMW that all looked almost the same, Not sure if anyone else feels what I feel

Although Im not a fan, would go with Dodge Challenger out of 3 muscle cars (mustang, camaro, challenger).

Back then... a lot of American cars looked like your typical muscle car. That was the trend in those days. Many of those cars evolved, and that's why they don't look like muscle cars anymore. But some continued to stay as performance muscle cars.

I was never a muscle car fan, but the current gen of each one do look very nice to me. I think the Challenger is a good compromise of the traditional muscle car roots with modernization.

the new Camaro doesn't really talk to me, it doesn't look like a old skool power muscle or Euro seek sport car look but instead gives me the feeling of an over priced Asian budget sports car that chicks would really want (u know like a 90s onwards mustang convertible lol)

The SS looks pretty cool but that's pretty much it lol
