    Thumbs up Hot Rod TV Top 10 Muscle Cars

    Saturday's Hot Rod TV on ESPN2 was their picks for the best muscle cars of all time. They havent posted it online, but their picks were the '69 Trans Am, '69 ZL1 Camaro, '70 LS6 Chevelle, Ford Mustang Boss 429, '67 Corvette Stingray 427, '71 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda, '71 Dodge Charger Daytona, '69 Ford Shelby Cobra, and the '70 Pontiac GTO Judge. That's nine, I cant remember the other. Anyway, how about we start a list of the top ten late model EFI muscle cars. Carbs are antiques and outdated anyway.

    In no particular order:

    '87 Buick Grand National GNX
    '89 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am
    '90-'95 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
    '01-'04 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 LS6
    '05-present Chevrolet Corvette Z06 LS7
    '91-92 Pontiac SLP Firehawk
    '04-05 Cadillac CTS-V LS6
    '03-04 Mustang Cobra Supercharged
    '99-04 Ford F150 Lightning
    '92-present Dodge Viper
    1991 Camaro Z28
    350 L98 w/ T56
    12.80 @ 108.50 (1.92 60')
    355 RWHP & 360 RWTQ

    Why does every one say "what about"? Just pick a car from the guys list and be happy.

    I choose the 03/04 cobra because they are sooo easy to mod.

    What is your problem? I didnt direct a comment toward you personally. I just stated that people shouldnt rag on his list. Just pick one and be happy with it, or dont pick one at all. Get your panties out of a bunch.

    sounded to me like you were the one with the panties in a bunch with the first comment about additional cars to the list. i wasn't raggin his list...i was sayin that the 02 ZL1 shouldn't be overlooked.

    I think Hot Rod got it pretty much spot on. Only two IMO they left out were the 70' Buick Gran Sport and the 65 Goat. The GS b/c it was in fact one of the baddest of all time and the Goat b/c while it wasn't the best or the fastest it was the original muscle car.

    I didnt pick "enhanced" versions of regular cars like a Camaro SS or Trans Am WS6 for the reason they are not "super" cars but minor tweaks to regular cars. And the new GTO and new Charger are nice cars, but they're not "super" cars either.

    I had forgotten about the '02 ZL1 Camaro but was it produced in enough quantity to matter? Also it was an aftermarket conversion, wasnt it? It was not offered by the factory?

    Other choices for the list would be the '06 Ford GT, and the '97 LT4 Firehawk/Camaro SS.

    the 02 zl1 really wasn't a production car. The 06 ford gt would be an excellent choice, same with the lt4 fbodies.

    i definitely have to agree with the goat there. without that there wouldn't be any other muscle cars.

    and i believe the 02 ZL1 was kinda like the Yenko's of old...it was a dealer installed option.

    I think the 79 trans am should be on the list, maybe its just my personal opinion.

    picking from the list the 89 TA
    05-present vettes

    i give the 03-04 stangs respect but not my all time fave muscle car
