Viper's are not exotics. they have no cruise control, traction control, are very stiff rides and are very rough. That's how they are supposed to be. Muscle cars.

The Mustang is the best-selling sports car around and I am being very broad in the term sports car so do not jump on me (Do not have updated stats so not positive about that). Does king of the road refer to power of the car or the number of people that own the vehicle which means that the more there are they kind of annex the territory of the road? I myself find all these new makes of old classics a major dis-appointment. The only new car that has impressed me is the Dodge Magnum (I know its not a re-make but it was inspired by the Old Charger and Challenger). Although now the high fuel consumption makes the 5.7L Hemi undesirable the package right beneath it still packs a punch.

Certainly if king of the road refers to a mix of categories being the most sold/driven to the power of the car... It'd probably be a dead heat between the entire mustang line versus the entire honda civic line. Everywhere you go, there isn't a single parking lot i can think of where you WONT see a honda civic or a ford mustang. However, if king of the road solely means the combination of the two, it's really difficult. In my opinion it'll always be the Mitsubishi Evolution or Subaru STI. well... except for the new ones... they make me cringe. |

Ford simply lost all it had good for it after the 70's. Although the 'king of the road' title changes more often than most people change their underwear, I'd have to say the most balanced car to date would be the Mitsubishi Evolution series. thou has spoken (the new evo 10 rules!) |

About 2 of every 10 Mustangs I see which is about 20+ in an outing are men owners. I sat inside of a new mustang at a ford stealership to try to understand why people women especially love them and was shocked on how terrible the design was. The hosts of top gear werent joking when the gear changes are like when you operate on the heavy levers on big machinery. The plastic sounded brittle from being exposed to the sun. I found 2 things that were ok with the car and that was the seat and the small steering wheel. I looked at the modified factory one an not surprisingly it has more non functional scoops than a ricer boys civic. |

The Koenigsegg CCX does not have either of those features and is a stiff ride. Any of Dodge products just cant be supercar material. I mean trucks is the first think on your mind when you hear the name. |

He's saying the rx8 could possibly match or outperform the new challenger. (which it can, with exception with its top of the line hemi... but even then it's still slow as paint drying). No one said it's a muscle car. we're just using it for reference because all most people use rx8's for is to sit and look pretty. |
