Exactly, it is your opinion.
In MINE,
Anyone who loves American muscle cars, the thrill of slam you in the seat acceleration, who know they will never see a slalom, skidpad, track or Autobahn, will never consider those cars you mentioned above.
Don't forget the Mopar muscle lovers out there.
American muscle cars are just that. They are not supposed to be a Mercedes, Lexus or other "Luxury" brand car ( That in the same price range will be a boring mid size car, Their "Real sports models" are $55-60K+).
Going from 0-60 QUICKLY< having room, killer wheels and looks (Distinctly American Muscle)still have a following which is growing with the younger generation who have never felt that kind of ground pounding power and torque.
American cars got less popular when they became slow, sluggish and less dependable with all the anti smog stuff.
The little high revving foreign cars became more popular because with a few mods they were fast.
Now you can get looks, size and power right out of the showroom and you can stretch out again without folding the seat back to the rear seat.
The new American muscle cars don't have the same (As a car reviewer once said, I don't remember the name unfortunately) "used bar of soap styling"
want to get fully planted in your seat----dude you need to drive a Z06--everything else pales in comparison, period.
