What is the fastest new production muscle car?
Ford's GT-500 is currently the fastest production MUSCLE car. Corvette does not count as it is a performance car like mentioned above. American does not mean muscle. -- If you want to split hairs, the corvette is a "sports car", the mustang is a "pony car", the Dodge Charger srt-8 is the fast "muscle car" by definition. Everyone of my dozen or so "Muscle car" books have the corvette in them. -------------- First off- I agree with above, Every muscle car book ever published has corvettes in them. FACT, yes it is really a sports car like said above. Yes the mustang is a pony car, not really categorized as a muscle car, I.E. mid size performance vehicles. Second- The viper has a top speed around 206mph, so it is faster than the vette and GT500. The new Shelby gt500 has a 202mph top speed, but it is really a tuner car. Just like the hurst hemi's (still the fastest 1/4mile car produced in the usa)and Baldwin motion chevy's of the 60's. Lingenfelter vehicles today... which are a lot faster.

The GTO is considered the 1st mainly because of how Popular it was and how well it sold.

There were many cars before the GTO that were High powered and even faster than the GTO. Same with the "Pony car", Most say it was the Ford Mustang and they would be Wrong... The Plymouth Barracuda came out first... The Mustang Just Sold ALOT.
