What muscle car would you buy next?

I always thought I'd change the Ro for a VXR8. However, after seeing the numbers of gen-f's sold (and seeing more pics of them) I think I would skip the vxr8 and go for one of them.

Other than than that, the usual suspects of C/E63 AMG, RHD Mustang and XFR.

My dear chap - the XFR is ok if you switch everything off, go tip-tronic and switch on the sport ride, otherwise a little boring!!! Basic with no electronics and manual for me - so a struggle!!!

Mercedes SLS (but they need to depreciate another £50k first)

Handful of cars on my shortlist for my "5 years from now" car;

• Equus Bass 770
• Lexus RC F
• The W507

Given that I stepped into the Monaro scene because I love muscle cars, I've been wondering what I'd buy from the more recent offerings from the motor industry. A new Gen-F variant is an obvious choice, so avoiding them what would you chose?

For me, an orange Dodge SRT-8 Challenger looks perfect

Trouble with all this new Muscle stuff it all looks a bit hairy chested & medallion & the old stuff is best to look at , admire & walk away
I speak from experience with both , the medallion is available just for you though as I no longer need it with the heartless Gtr ;-)

I much prefer a manual (hence why I drive the car I do), but as most modern cars are auto-only, choice is limited.
But the great thing with people having different opinions is that there are plenty of different cars to choose from- everyone can be happy

New Mustang looks well just hope its better than the last one , the build quality & finish was terrible on the one I ve got

You need to put that medallion on ebay with a daft buy-it-now before I go for it. Along with that green UTE (remembering to remove the engine and box first).

Z28 for occasional fun.
Zl1 for a daily driver.
Mustang Shelby 350 in RHD if was in UK.

[Monaro5.7]

Chevelle SS or the Hellcat or maybe the W507 i dont know so many

[karl_h]

If I could have anything it would be my dads old '72 Chevelle. Orange with black rallye stripes. 'CHEVY METAL' on the number plate. I think I was about 10 when he had it. Left a lasting impression. Recently found the current owner on Facebook, still so ugly it's beautiful. Running a 502, mad, bad and dangerous to know.
Everything a muscle car should be!

Waiting to see the 2015 Mustng in the flesh/metal, but it's going to have to be good to beat the R8

I think a gold medallion would suit you Gary

The Bently isn't a muscle car. A very worthy car I'm sure it is but it is a premium grand tourer. Similarly the VXR8 isn't one either, thunder saloon perhaps.

The proper definition of a muscle car is cheap horse power for the masses, simple construction, unsophisticated, big engine squeezed into a small(ish) coupe chassis etc.

Hopefully if the Mustang is priced fairly it will be a true Muscle car, and the first RHD since the Monaro. 350BHP for £24K certainly was.

Remember the song "fast car" by Tracy Chapman.

Love the Charger of course.

I m sure that Bentley has some real muscles with a Steve Morris 3080 bhp motor under that Carbon hood

[ArnieVXR]

Oh and I bet the Bentley really passes and MOT....;)

Same here but in black, saw one down at the wilton breakfast and it looked so good with a subtle amount of gold pin sriping, flek in the paint it just looked right.
