    TV advertising in Canada claims the 'Dodge Daytona is the world's quickest & most powerful muscle car' which from my perspective is incorrect. Is there a logical way the powers that be could be justifying this claim in their minds?

    The next-generation Dodge Charger electrifies a legend — the Charger will retain its title as the world’s quickest and most powerful muscle car, led by the all-new, all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, which delivers 670 horsepower, is expected to reach 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and will run the quarter-mile in an estimated 11.5 seconds.

    Muscle cars have a V8 under the hood, period. Everything else is a sports car, or an EV.

    Don't the Demon 170 and even the Lucid Air Sapphire hold those bragging rights?

    According to current information, the fastest gas-powered factory produced car is the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, with a top speed of 304 mph

    The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is the fastest gasoline-powered car ever built by an American automaker. It has a top speed of 233 miles per hour.
