modern muscle
To me, it makes wayyy more sense to have a modern muscle car vs building a classic into one. I love my ‘67 with its am radio, and 3.91’s with no overdrive. It’s a time capsule. But if I want to drive cross country I wouldn’t even consider the Barracuda.
As far as brand loyalty on the new stuff, Mopar still looks the best but if I was buying NEW I’d have a hard look at the Mustang. It’s a ford so I’d sell it before the warranty runs out, but I’d enjoy the hell out of those couple of years!
