Original Charger
And "every inch a Coronet" also meant that the Charger was pretty big. At 203.6 inches long it was a full 22 inches longer than a '66 Mustang and 3.5 inches longer than the four-door 2K6 Charger. The first Charger's 117-inch wheelbase was relatively long for the era in which it was designed, though it seems modest by 21st-century standards when engineers try to shove the wheels out to a car's corners (the 2K6 Charger's wheelbase is 120 inches).

What in the hell are you guys talking about and why?
Who cares what classification certian cars fit in, especially when the classifications are opinionated. Truthfully traditional 60's-70's muscle cars were anything but muscle. With the exception of a few monsters most were underpowered tugboats that could easily be passed by a 2006 Civic Si nowdays.
By any standards todays GTO, GT500 and GT handle better and will out perform there predecesors. SO calling them muscles cars doesn't really fit.

Well they couldn't deal with the fact that my SS/SC Stage 2 could walk there slow ass 99-04 GT's. They dream that every 99-04 GT runs 13s not low to mid 14's, I also had a 2003 GT so I know first hand they don't run 13's or have any top end pull what so ever.
