This is pretty much like the header article I wrote today.  Quality and Performance are two main parts of choosing a muscle car.  Another which I feel is very important is design!!!  Design can lead to a happier muscle car enthusiast in the long run.  I believe in choosing a car that stands out from the crowd.  For instance, choosing a car that looks like a mean son of a bitch.  And along with that having a strong designed engine and frame. 

Two of my favorites are the 03-04 Cobra and the 98-02 Fbody.  These cars scream muscle car all over the road.  Shit, you don't even have to get a load exhaust if you don't want.  The design of these cars says it all.  So take into consideration what I said, choose a car that has good quality workmanship, great performance, and well put together design.  You have these 3 elements you can't go wrong on choosing your first or next muscle car.
