10 FASTEST Muscle Cars Of The 2000s

In 1964, when the geniuses at Pontiac put a 360 horsepower 400ci V-8 in a LeMans and called it a GTO, the muscle car was born. It was such a hit that it sent the other automakers scrambling to replicate it. Existing cars like Novas, Darts, and Coronets got bigger engines and cool new performance rides like Camaros, Challengers, and Javelins burst onto the scene. The classic era of muscle cars went from '64-'71, when even a Plymouth Fury station wagon came optional with a 426 HEMI.

Almost as fast as it came, the classic era of muscle cars disappeared. Due to a global oil crisis, environmental regulations, and shifting consumer trends, these once mighty street beasts were tamed. Many of the great nameplates like Charger, Mustang, and Firebird continued, but they were shells of their former selves. American muscle entered the Dark Ages, and it would be decades before there was light again.

Just as Europe emerged from the plague of Medieval Times with a Renaissance, the muscle car would see an age of rebirth in the 2000s. The Charger and Challenger were rebooted, while Mustangs and Camaros were once again horsepower champions. The new generation of American muscle produced some of the fastest cars, rivaling or even beating their classic-era ancestors. Thanks to technological advances, these double-ought speedsters had better suspensions, handling, and more jump off the line.
