2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

The performance you get out of this Chevy, compared to its price of just 35,000 credits, is an absolute steal for a deal. Apart from the iconic Corvette design, this beast performs just as impressively. Featuring a default rating of A-722 paired with a ballistic top speed of 191 MPH, this retro muscle is great for nailing speed traps and even S-class races if tuned to the max.

1999 Dodge Viper GTS ACR

Back in the day, the Dodge Viper was already considered a monster on the road that required skills to tame. However, this GTS ACR is the more aggressive version that goes beyond when it comes to raw performance. With a humongous V10 at the front and a 190 MPH top speed, this 99’ Viper is one of the best barn finds in Forza Horizon 5 that likes to eat its competition.

1995 Dodge Viper GTS

With the high-performance version discussed, the base Viper GTS is no exception. Since the ACR can be challenging to handle, the regular GTS comes in handy, especially for beginners. The roaring V10 engine still lives under the hood of this beast, helping it reach high speeds. Overall, this car is perfect for open-world cruising, PR stunts, and A800 events.

2006 Dodge Charger SRT8

No iconic muscle car list is complete without the 2006 Charger SRT8. The car is no stranger, even to the non-car people, thanks to its huge gas-guzzling HEMI V8. In Forza Horizon 5, this car has all the acceleration and stability you need to nail A800 and drag-style events. Additionally, it is also quite tune-friendly, helping you achieve high performance numbers.

2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

Last but not least. The 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra is a blend of all of the cars we have discussed. It packs a power-packed supercharged V8 and is lightweight like the Viper ACR. As a result, the SVT Cobra is not just fast on the straight line but nimble enough to be driven on twisty roads without losing control. It can also work as a great drift or rally car if paired with the necessary tires.

With that, our list comes to an end. Since every car behaves differently, similar to its real-life counterparts, mastering them can take a while. American muscles in general are hard to handle; however, with the best racing wheels and settings, you can make the most of them on the track.
