What is the fastest muscle car?

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 (2023), which reaches 60 mph in 2.60 s. It is the quickest of the 60 muscle cars listed here. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Which muscle car is quickest over the quarter mile?

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 again, in 9.61 s at 154.2 mph — it leads both the 0-60 and the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Which muscle car has the highest trap speed?

The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 at 154.2 mph through the quarter-mile lights. Trap speed tracks power against weight, so it rewards a different car from the one that launches best. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How many muscle cars are listed?

60, ranked by simulated 0-60 mph time, from the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 at 2.60 s to the Ford Mustang LX Mk III 228 PS at 6.39 s.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure here is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces its own published acceleration figures. Because every car is run in identical conditions — dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout — the ranking is a fair comparison even though no individual time is a timing slip.

Questions

What is the fastest muscle car?: The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 (2023), which reaches 60 mph in 2.60 s. It is the quickest of the 60 muscle cars listed here. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Which muscle car is quickest over the quarter mile?: The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 again, in 9.61 s at 154.2 mph — it leads both the 0-60 and the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Which muscle car has the highest trap speed?: The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 at 154.2 mph through the quarter-mile lights. Trap speed tracks power against weight, so it rewards a different car from the one that launches best. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How many muscle cars are listed?: 60, ranked by simulated 0-60 mph time, from the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 at 2.60 s to the Ford Mustang LX Mk III 228 PS at 6.39 s.
Are these real measured times?: No. Every figure here is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces its own published acceleration figures. Because every car is run in identical conditions — dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout — the ranking is a fair comparison even though no individual time is a timing slip.
