The 1970s and 1960s were truly good days for the American automobile industry with popular brands such as Pontiac, Ford, and Chevy among others ruling the street and the race track. However, there is a new breed of super-fast muscle cars from the 2010s that are irresistible. Here they are;
2017 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat – 204 Mph
With a 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, this four-door sedan is currently ruling the streets with an impressive 0-60 of 3.4. Thanks to its aerodynamic nature, this machine is both fuel efficient and very fast.
2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
Termed as the most powerful production muscle car of all time, this machine packs an impressive 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. This allows it to sprint from 0 to 60 in 3.5 topping at 199 mph.
2014 Shelby GT500
This is a brutally fast car packing 662 horsepower and 631-pound feet of torque. This machine can do 0 – 60 in 3.5. Its sleek monster design is also impressive.
2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 – 195 Mph
As the baddest of the Camaro lineup, this beat looking machine packs 650 horsepower and 650-pound feet of torque.
2015 Equus Bass 770
This rare hand built machine is a blend of all that makes a muscle car great. It makes 0 to 60 in 3.4 packing 640 horsepower and 605-pound feet of torque. Only 250 have been made.

Problem is this muscle car’s of the 60s and 70s where also low cost vehicles so the younger generation could not only afford them and insure them…and work on them with most home tools…how many of these v8 muscle cars of today can the young generation afford…let alone insure and work on in there garage without buying computers and special tools?????
Right, I was one of those 70’s young kids
That’s a good point rick.
May be but it’s UGLY !
muscle cars of the 60s and 70s were just better todays muscle cars don’t even deserve that name they are high performance yes but NOT muscle cars
In all honesty, my ’08 GT500 is quite a bit faster than the ’68 GT500 I had in college.
Did you put a supercharger on the 428?
No.
Cars are much better today.
They’re all just big hunks of plastic. SHIT

Agreed, I was a huge Mopar racer in the 70’s
Agreed…but it also left out Olds and Buick and I’m sure we’re still missing some of the early ones…
Yes im sure they are…ive been a mopar guy since i was little!
The true muscle cars are from the 60’s and 70’s which is where the name muscle car originated.

So, based on that premise, let’s take the cooking analogy one step further and say that great car fabricators are like great chefs. Folks willing to pay top dollar put great trust in them to cook up something magical, whether it’s on a plate or on four wheels. Building cars, like cooking, is big #wheels #ProStreet #Chevy ...
