Best muscle cars ever?

[Maxaxle]

I'm not going to say that horsepower makes the muscle car, or that looks make the muscle car, etc, etc, but I'll break it down into three categories. Anyone can enter two cars per category, but please don't gush unless you've had hands-on experience.

1: Performance.
2. Look and Style. How well does it turn heads?
3. Lasting Value, also known as "reliability", a word not often associated with muscle cars.

Example entry (not a real entry):

Under "Look and Style", I'm entering the Oldsmobile Cutlass 442, specifically the 1970 version.


Although Driver: San Francisco's rendition was less than impressive performance-wise, the overall look of the 442 is unmistakable and fairly unique, to the point that it has appeared in four separate Grand Theft Auto games.

Aside from this very post being a bump, I'd like to enter the Plymouth Barracuda, the 1974 edition in particular, for Look and Style (almost picked the AMC Javelin or the Corvette Stingray).

Pontiac GTO, 1966 preferably, for look and style. It's got real presence. I also almost picked, well, pretty much any 64 to 73 two door american car, not easy to choose favorites.

Not surprising, but which category would you put it in?

I prefer the old Mopars, they are bit more unique. Every one and their brother has GM or Ford but, it seems Mopars are a little less popular. I also really like the styling of Mopars.

I would say a 32 fits in the hotrod category ? :)

My avatar is an in-game screenshot of my unreleased 32 from the old SR3 beta.

My favorite car used to be the 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air though.

The Hot Rod coupe was one of may favorite cars in SR1/2. It was the most unique looking.
