Paying $80,000 for a car, especially in the muscle car world, is a tough pill to swallow. Muscle cars were originally about affordable performance-raw power at a price the average enthusiast could handle. Today, prices often feel inflated, catering more to luxury than the grassroots spirit that made these cars iconic. Unless it’s packing serious horsepower, cutting-edge tech, and staying true to its roots, many would agree-it’s just not worth it. Muscle cars should thrill, not drain your bank account!

Building a 4-door muscle car sparks intense debate because it challenges the traditional essence of what enthusiasts associate with muscle cars-raw performance, aggressive styling, and a rebellious attitude embodied in 2-door coupes. The 1960s, 70s, and 80s solidified this image with iconic designs like the Dodge Challenger, Chevrolet Camaro, and Pontiac GTO-all with two doors. However, manufacturers often make these decisions based on market demands rather than nostalgia. A 4-door "muscle car" appeals to families or drivers who want performance without sacrificing practicality, blending muscle car aesthetics with the usability of a sedan. While purists might scoff, automakers aim to expand the customer base and stay profitable in a changing auto market. The real test is whether the 4-door delivers on power, speed, and handling-elements that define muscle cars. If the performance isn't there, enthusiasts are right to reject it. But if it can hang with the best of the traditional 2-doors, it might deserve a second look.

Of course, you love your Hemi! It’s more than just an engine-it’s a statement of power, performance, and American muscle heritage. The roar of a Hemi under the hood is music to any enthusiast’s ears. Whether it’s on the track or cruising down the highway, that unmistakable torque and raw strength remind you why it’s a legend. Keep revving and loving that beast-it’s not just a car; it’s a lifestyle!

THANKS

So what you're saying is, I could trade in my trusty 2005 K1200S, probably sell a kidney and half my liver to afford this, and for what? Some fancy LED lights, a boatload of electronics I don’t need, and maybe an extra 10 horsepower? Nah, I’ll pass. Thanks.

@TurboLegendsyt much better phrased haha

I thought they replaced the HEMI with the straight-6 turbo engine, as they’ve been doing recently."

t sounds like you're expressing interest in a vehicle, possibly an electric car, but would prefer it to have a standard internal combustion engine (ICE) instead. Your sentiment seems to be that you're not quite ready to invest in electric vehicles (EVs) yet. Would you like help refining this comment, or is there something more specific you'd like to discuss about EVs versus ICE vehicles?

@ Im just hesitate of owning a EV because as I believe the infrastructure required to own one and the long term cost to maintain one at a reasonable life cycle cost required and logistical not enough infrastructure national. As with ICE there are gas stations everywhere unlike charging stations, though on the rise but with the new administration coming on board who wants to cut the federal budget and doesn’t really wanna support EV’s I think I have to wait to see what happens with the administration unlike the current administration. they were supported for providing funding to create charge stationsnationally. I’m big on new innovative ideas and gadgets. Just hesitant.

@@kevinthurston1448 how when escalade range navigator all cost the same

There all over priced junk. That depreciate like a rock. Just drive down the road and throw your hard earned money out the window

This vehicle is way overpriced; I'd consider it if it were more affordable or had better features for the price."

This looks better to me than most options, as I usually prefer this style/design."

It's fake. The challenger was discontinued

Exactly. Toyota discontinued the Avalon in 2022

I love all the old models from 2000-2012
