Quickest traditional Muscle Cars in Stock

[Paul Merolla]

Yet another thread derailed by the "I know more than you do" syndrome.

I would say Jason Line's Buick should be in the conversation...fingers crossed that the semantics police allow it.

I would say Jason's car fills the bill. In fact , that's the first one I thought of.
BTW , nice "shoebox" you have there.

Full size cars years before the GTO were muscle cars to me

Chevy's, Pontiac's, Ford's and Mopars and some others all had big motor options and 4 speeds and some with multiple carb options....

I took a ride in a brand new '64 Plymouth 426 street wedge 4 speed convertible before I had a license with a buddy and that car sure was a muscle car to me on that ride !!

Wow, did this run off the rails, I think it is safe to assume what this guy was asking is what were the fastest 60's / 70's era cars that ran in Stock. Instead, it turned into some sort of argument about what exactly is classified as a muscle car, I don't think that was the point of the question.

I don't know, Jim
I think the only thing that is safe to assume it the o/p would like to hear about more FE powered Mustangs.
So, now that we've learned that a musclecar can be anything you want it to be, including full size and convertibles, I'll go with the Shelby style Mustangs of Bill hawk, Jim Morgan, and Kenny Meile.

When did I mention FE Mustangs? There are none that qualify for my post hence the reason I mentioned Ponds cars and Steve Wann's. You sure look like a ***** with your replies to a simple question!

Simple answer :
Okay, so now we know for sure specifically what you were looking for, this thread would have been over in three or four posts .
At least I helped in getting it to 3-4 pages ;-)

Wasn’t there a video series of muscle cars racing each other and the 1970 LS 6 454 was the quickest?

Right? I feel like I walked into a coffee/barber shop. I thought I might read something interesting but nope.

I think that it's very interesting how different "Car Guys" view what a "traditional" Muscle Car is.
Ya know, I used to race a 1985 Pontiac Sunbird Turbo. It was fun and pretty fast. In the 1985 model year, the Turbo Sunbird WAS the fastest Pontiac body style period. I don't know if it's a Muscle Car though.
