Introducing the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, where muscle meets the modern age! Riding on the LC chassis—think of it as the slightly shorter, sportier cousin to the Chrysler 300’s platform—this beast packs a punch with its 6.1L Hemi V8 engine. And, oh, it’s paired with a five-speed “AutoStick” transmission because who needs an extra pedal anyway? All 6,400 units sold faster than hotcakes at a pancake convention, proving once again that everyone loves a classic comeback!

The Pontiac GTO 2004-2006, a rebadged Aussie import, hit American shores with a roar reminiscent of its ’60s glory days. Powered by a 5.7L V8, it was less “muscle car” and more “muscle diplomat,” bridging automotive cultures. Despite its potent engine, it was met with a lukewarm reception—like serving Vegemite at a backyard BBQ. With only 40,808 units sold, it seems American buyers were more smitten with the Mustang’s mane than this GTO’s growl.
