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.

This ^^^^, except I’ll go with the ZL1 1st and the SS 2nd. The 19+ SS just doesn’t have the “maw” front end like the 16-18’s. The SS could be had for $30k less than a ZL1, so the Z was/is less obtainable for a lot of folks, but you could still get a killer front end on the 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.
