Modern Muscle Cars

Originally a muscle car could be described as a monster V-8 stuffed into a mid-size Detroit sedan with whatever suspension mods were available. Times have changed. Now we describe as a muscle car any 4-seater with massive horsepower (which could even come from a V-6), country of origin unimportant. If you want cheap performance buy a sport compact but if your enthusiasm remains with the deep growl of a multi-cylinder engine, the cars listed here should more than satisfy your 0-60 urges.
1. Cadillac CTS-C
A rejuvenated Cadillac has set its sights on performance, traveling far from hometown proving grounds to Germany’s fabled Nurburgring race track in order to fine-tune the handling. “V” is your cue if you’d like your Cadillac to run with Europe’s best. And indeed it does.
2. Chrysler 300 Hemi
Your Guide is not a fan of the 300′s upright styling, gunslit windows, and “get outta my way” grille but we’d never utter a whisper against the Hemi engine’s rear-drive performance. Good old Americana presented for a new millenium, probably the most affordable of all the cars listed here.
3. Pontiac GTO
Can an Australian Murano be Americanised enough to satisfy US buyers? GM thought so when it attempted to revive the GTO without spending a small fortune. The Aussies have always built hot racers, and this one, fitted with a Corvette engine, is no exception.
