Is the 2020+ SS the sportiest looking Muscle Car?
I feel like someone from a casual standpoint would look at all the Muscle cars and conclude that the 20+ SS is the sportiest looking one. Now the Zl1 front bumper is debatably the best but if someone doesn’t know Camaros like that I think the newer SS look the sportiest.
My buddy had a mustang and the Camaro always gets more nice car compliments based on looks and while it’s debatable which car is the Best I think the new SS are undeniably the most aggressive sporty looking. |

For the 6th Gen my favorite is the '18 SS 1LE. Modern Camaros in general? My unbiased opinion leans towards the '15 Z/28.

In my very not unbiased opinion the 2016-2018 SS is the sportiest looking Camaro, the 2017-2018 ZL1 is a close second, while the prize for most brutal, muscular look belongs to the 2015 Z/28.

Based on sales determined on looks it has to be the Mustang. I had 3 over the last 15 years and they were pretty nice looking. This ZL1 isn't bad.

I feel like mustang is much more of a name thing than design. The Mustang is 100% more iconic and until the LT1 were much cheaper than Camaros

I will say that the ZL1 Camaro is the sportiest but I’m biased. When I had my 2016 2SS I thought it was good looking but the ZL1 is hands down my favorite now. I really liked my 2010 2SS when I had it but that’s a whole different look.

In my biased opinion, which I readily admit, the 2020+ SS 1LE is sportiest looking muscle car. The way it looks was one of the reasons I wanted a 1LE over an SS.

But it’s all personal preference, and if a 19+ floats your boat then good on ya!

I must admit I have wanted 1 for years but didn't pull the trigger until last year. The look of one coming up behind you is just mean and intimidating.

2016-2018 SS is the best looking muscle car all around. 👍🏻

I think the 1LEs look the meanest of the mix.
The 16-18 has the "sportiest" front facia, but I prefer the center hood vent from the 19+ over the 16-18 narrow side slits. |

My vote is for all of the '16-18 sixth gens! My homage to the pre-refresh look got a "beautiful car" shout-out in the parking lot of the post office just yesterday.
And no, I wasn't the one making the shout-out - this time ar least! 😉 |

2016-18 SS by a long shot. Looks no nonsense. The later models just has too much going on with the over lays, crossbars etc. Can't figure out all the excessiveness they added.
