Joe,

I have 06 GTO with a maggie. Absolutely love the car. I am waiting on the manual G8's to hit...supposed to be in 09. Finally a 4 door family sedan with a manual that has some grunt.

It may not fit the traditional definition of a true "musclecar" but...My daily driver is a 300C SRT8 (6.1) Hemi

Dead stock, you get 425HP, sub-5 second 0-60, 171 MPH top speed, gotta love it...

Mustang is a pony car and the new gto shares nothing with the old gto besides its name.The 300 is out too its a 4 door and lacks power.

So, if 425 hp dead stock isn't enough....how much would it need to have before it would no longer be considered "lacking"?

The GTO is a bit lacking in style, but more than makes up for it in the sizzle dept. I wouldn't mind having one. I like the 300C as well, but I'm not a fan of the Charger, they look nice, but too many doors.

I wish that Pontiac or Saturn would shove an LS something into the Solstice or Sky, THAT I might spend money on.

The GTO has an LS2 with a Magnacharger, the C6Z has a filter and tune, 479rwhp. You gotta love modern muscle.

I have a newer Mustang GT and want to try and snag a 2008 Challenger when they hit the streets. I love new muscle as a DD.

I've got an '05 Mustang GT with a ProCharger, Borla exhaust with an offroad x-pipe, 3.90 gears, Eibach springs, Tokico D-Spec adjustable shocks, AP Racing brakes, and a couple of other mods. I love it! Very comfortable to drive, tons of power, and it looks pretty decent too.

It's tough to compare it to a classic muscle car though because it just doesn't feel, smell, or drive quite like one. I don't mind though since, I drive mine almost daily.

Here's a pic or two:
