[hawk2201]

Please name one of your favorite american muscle car ? (GT5 model only )

Thank you !👍

I like the Chevelle 454. One of my favorite cars in the game.

 

[zodicus]

66 Cobra, GT350R

 

[TenEightyOne]

Mercury Cougar, stock. Takes a few laps to get used to the body roll... but very rewarding!

 

[snowxdadx3]

'69 Z28 Rm

 

[berty1979]

Ford Mustang 67 is the icon.
My favourite is the dodge charger

 

[greenhill]

Right Now my new favorite GT5 muscle car is the: Hemi "Cuda"...
Just raced it recently in a friendly online muscle car race and I thought it handled surprisingly well (with a good set up, of course)
One thing i think would be cool is if there were more Premium Muscle cars, that you could add "Race Kits" to, that turned them into the "Trans-am" series Race cars.
maybe next time....
Anyway, for me? the Cuda!

Mercury Cougar. My dad owns convertible '69 version and I love it.

 

[HaylRayzor]

GTO. The original 60s muscle car.

Camaros and Mustangs are pony cars...

Corvettes and Cobras are sports cars...

 

[Rob192005]

Camaro Z28,I've come to love that car since GT5,specially in RM guise.

 

[NFSCARBON1]

Dodge Charger 440 R/T

Mine's painted Orange and has some mild tuning on it. Remind you of anything

 

[alonsof1fan91]

Ford GT40 + gulf livery = epic win

 

[SkateNj]

charger.
but in all muscle cars it would be an oldsmobile cutlass. i love em

 

[Bigbazz]

Dodge Charger 440.


GT40 isn't really a muscle car, it was designed and built in the UK, and can turn corners.

GTO. The original 60s muscle car.

Corvettes and Cobras are sports cars...

Quoted for truth.

 

[PureLogic]

when i think of american muscle cars, charger and challenger are the first that come to mind.

 

[hawkeye122]

Superbird. Only enough were made to meet the homologation requirement. The original CLK-GTR.

Dodge Charger 440 R/T

I did the same thing.👍 Now if I can find Rossco to chase me it would be complete lol. But my favorite muscle car in game is the Chevelle SS 454. I really wish they would add some more like the GTO Judge, Firebird/Trans Am, Buick GS, Olds 442, Boss 302 and 429, AMX's....I could go on and on. It would be really cool if they would let us do more RM's and give us a classic Trans Am series.

 

[MoLiEG]

Dodge Charger RT FTW!!!

 

[Sharkyzero]

I don't think this is *the* icon of American muscle, but I do enjoy the hell out of it; Pontiac Tempest LeMans GTO.

 

[Parnelli Bone]

Been done...

But to answer this thread, it's really hard to say which would have been the "best", "my favorite", or the "most iconic". They all have their place in American muscle history in one way or another, and PD selected a pretty decent selection of variety overall. I can never decide.

GT 350R

Love the sound of it when I put the stock transmission back on. It needs the fully custom transmission to win some races but it ruins the sound.

Would love to have an AMX in the game.

 

[snowxdadx3]

GT 350R

Would love to have an AMX in the game.

Me too 👍

Wow thats a toss up.

I was fortunate enough to have ridden in many, and even driven a few.

There are so many, I don't think I can pick just one.

Some of my favorites:

69 - 428 Torino Cobra
70 - 454 SS Chevelle
69 - GTO (400ci)
(I once drove each of these)

70 - Plymouth 440 GTX
70 - 440/6pack Dodge Challenger
69 - 428 SuperCobraJet Mustang
67 - Mustang GT
66/67 - Fairlane GT
66/67 - 427 Corvette
71 - 351 Boss Mustang
70 - 428 Cougar Eliminator

(sorry they're not all GT5 models, but I wish they were)

My Brother-in-law has a 427 Cobra replica with a built 427 / 550hp.
It has to be the wickedest scary car to drive on the face of the earth.

Just had to quote again, because he got it perfect. THE icon of American Muscle Cars is the GTO - the first Muscle Car.

If I had to pick any, and I know I'm breaking the rules because it's not in GT5, I'd pick a 1970 Hurst Olds 442. AMAZING car.

Right you are, it was the first. 1964/389ci.

Yes it was. Had a friend that had one.
Like I said, there are just too many great ones.

Bullitt Mustang. With Steve McQueen at the wheel.
In the real world? Mercury Cyclone and AMC Machine.
