Only one that stands out to me is The Machine.

They totally ignored E-body & A-body performance models. Well, that's yahoo for you.

AI generated filler for the feeble-minded. The masses reading that probably don't know the difference between **** and clay.

I had to look that one up.

Not so sure that the Olds Tornado (cool ride but not muscle) w/455
or that smogger Can Am even belong on that list

No 63-65 GS Riviera, esp. the 65
they should have been there, even if a luxury car
they were way ahead of their time

I do like the GTOs & GS/GSX
but Olds 442 was not there
Chevelles need to add 66-67 SS-396
early 60's Impala's 409s
or the early 62-64 S/S Plymouth MW 413/426
& MW Ramcharger's for Dodge

they covered Gen 1 Camaro, but not the Firebirds

yeah they had a Trans Am, which I do like,
especially early 70-73 Ram Air or SD cars
no so much them later 70's smoggers

NO/None
No 66-67 Charger, not even a Hemi 4 speed version,
NASCAR
E-body 'cuda (any BB rendition) or 70 AAR 340-6bbl,
Trans Am connection
& 67-69 Barracuda Formula S BB 4 speed cars
or the Dart GTSS 440 or just GT, Swinger/Twister or std GTS 383 4 speed
No Duster 340 or Demon 340
70-71 Challenger R/T or the 70 T/A 340 six-pak
No 68 or 69 even 70 Plymouth RR or GTX (or even 71-72 NASCAR Petty),
not a Hemi RR even
just the winged Daytona & Superbird

Shelby Mudstains, 428 SCJ didn't make it either
albeit they did show a Ford Boss Mudstain
no Talledega, No Fairlanes not even 67 the 7ltr. 427 4 speed
no Mercury, no Cyclones, no Cougar Eliminator, no Calienta

No Lil' red express fastest muscle in 1979

I know the Vett or Cobra is more of a sports car, (so is Camaro & Trans Am)
but no mention ? no L88 nor 435hp 427 tri-power etc.

I guess they all don't rate...

I'm sure I missed a few, you get the point...

AI must have wrote that, or an atypical 'not a car enthusiast'/writer

the list should be at a min 25 cars, still wouldn't cover it

 

[Rick@Laysons]

And once again......

AI shows it's true face as "Automated Ignorance"

or that Can Am even belong on that list

Funny... although I love both those cars, that was my first thought.

Yup…

 

[Cranky]

Saw sooooo many Olds Tornaaaados back in the day too!! Not.

Not so sure that the Olds Tornado (cool ride but not muscle) w/455

425 HP / 400 ft-lbs , top speed of 140mph isn’t enough muscle for you?

sure it is, just not a muscle car

I beg to differ.
