What do members think is the best muscle / sports car for the money? I have been looking at the new Mustang GT Premium, the Scat Pack Challenger, Camaro 1LE, and the new Corvette. So far the challenegr Scat Pack in my mind leads the way. Brembo brakes, exhaust cutouts, very nice interior and the 6.4 liter Hemi. What are your thoughts.

Not being bias but I think your best value WOULD be the mustang. Not perfect but you can improve on what you wish with probably the widest variety of upgrades.
Honestly it's the Corvette since the C6 it's been shooting way above its weight class.
11-14 Mustang GT would be the best Musclecar for your money in my opinion.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the OP was asking about new muscle cars.
I'm a Ford man, but I sure like the Z06, after they fix their ECU that is.

As the GT500 is no longer made, I would say a HellCat, not much else @ that pricepoint.

I'd wait till the GT350 comes out and see what happens there, but the Z06 is a pretty damn nice car.
Well I would go with a question for you. What is the price point you are talking about. The Corvette is best all around hands down. The Challenger looks good but it is made by Dodge and their quality is crap, hands down the worse on the market based on the only two Dodges I have owned a 2006 Ram and a 2014 Jeep. Between the crappy TIPM and electrical systems my 14 has been in the shop more then Ford I have ever owned in the first year of owner ship. Never again Dodge. Chevy has their problems right now but the Vette only has two recalls on it that I know of both pretty simple and stupid problems. The new GT will need to be proved before I judge it. There are a lot of after market parts out there for all these. Sp the question is do you want to go fast on a road course, straight line or just cruise it and enjoy.
1 Vette
2 Mustang
3 Anything else but a Dodge

Oh, I'll tell you something I heard last not that surprised the shit out of me. A buddy who has a 12 Z06 (I'm pretty sure), had his car and his wife's brand new ecoboost stang at the cruise in last night. He said the ride quality and interior of the mustang blows his Z06 away. And before the shit hits the fan, I'm not saying that, the dude who owns both cars said that. tifwiw
03-04 cobra or a c5 z06. Low 20's or teens
485 horsepower in the challenger with brembo brakes all around can be had for 38k. The 2015 mustang GT premium is 40-45k? I know the challenger is heavier. Will the hellcat be a collector car?
Honestly I'd buy an SRT 392 over a Scatt Pack. The minimal price difference is worth the step up.
The answer for sports car is obvious. 2015 corvette zo6. It's a 10 second 1/4 factory car, and goes 0-60 in under 3. Which for a RWD under 100k car, is just out of this world. As far as muscle car, I'd put it between the shelby gt350 and the z28.

I agree 100%, the new ZO6 is a world class super car.
errr....
My friend I am not sure where you saw the 15 Zo6 going in the 10's in the 1/4 mile but you were a bit off. Car and Driver has it doing 11.1 in the 1/4.
