The much-beloved Forza franchise has been the measuring stick for excellent racing games everywhere since its inauguration to gamers around the world in 2005. As such, it’s no surprise that Forza Horizon 4 still has gamers riveted by its content (and will even reach new fans on its arrival on Steam in March 2021).
With a vast catalog of car models and accessories, the game gives players an endless amount of options to cruise the often super-lengthy dirt roads, tracks and circuits littered throughout the open world map. It’s because of this array of choices that players may have difficulty sifting through the models available for just one type of vehicle, such as classic muscle cars, and honing in on the cream of the crop.
15 69′ Pontiac GTO Judge
Power personified, this front engine muscle car is an absolute beast. Named after a comedy routine of the era, the Ram Air III engine gives this car unbelievable power. Topping out in the 135-140 mph region, this car has incredible get-up once it hits the open road, with its 5.8 in-game speed rating.
Costing 90,000 in game credits (there are ways to raise a lot of credits for players who are struggling), this car is a solid choice if a player is looking to combine power, speed and a sleek-yet-classic look. However, there are some drawbacks with this vehicle. With such power and pace, the Judge really lacks the quality control and steering that is needed to be a great racing pick in this game, coming in with a 4.4 in-game handling rating.
14 68′ Ford Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback
This little car packs a lightning fast counter punch in encounters. As one of the first Mustangs to offer an additional two seats behind the driver and passenger, this little Ford is quick off the line. Coming in with an in-game rating of 6.4 for speed and 6.5 for acceleration, this car can zip through any tight quarters (or tricky custom built track in the Super7 Mode) it encounters in a hurry.
Topping out in the 140-150 mph range, this car is an ideal purchase for those looking for a great deal that still measures up somewhat. Costing only 50,000 in game credits, this car is a huge steal. Even so, it also has its major weaknesses. With a handling rating of 4.5, this car is also difficult to steer when reaching high speeds.
13 70′ Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible Barrett-Jackson Edition
This limited Barrett-Jackson Edition muscle car is the third generation of the classic Barracuda model from Plymouth. This two-door beast has a slant six engine that packs some punch. Costing only 55,000 in game credits, this car (which clocks in with a 6.4 in game speed rating) is a great budget buy for gamers looking to get the best bang for their buck.
While nothing about this car screams flashy or stylish, it is solid across the board. However, it also has some negatives. The braking rating is a 5.2, well below the in-game average, which really makes full control of this vehicle quite difficult while on dirt tracks or in street racing modes.
12 70′ Dodge Challenger R/T
The first generation of this iconic Dodge model, this muscle car (boasting a 225 cubic inch straight six engine) is a flashy purchase for any player. While the car doesn’t boast any heavy hitters in the rating department, it’s the nostalgic early 70’s Dodge look that the gamer will be chasing.
Coming in with a 6.2 speeding rating and a 6.5 launch rating, the Challenger is just solid enough across the board to justify its 210,000 in game credit price tag. Downsides to this vehicles include a 4.7 handling rating and 4.4 braking rating, making reaching high speeds on almost any terrain in the game an extreme hazard.
11 72′ Ford Falcon XA GT-HO
The four-door Ford Falcon is quite the package for gamers, despite being one of the least stylish cars in the game. Though it unfortunately seems to blend several of the most unattractive features of muscle cars of its era into its design, the Falcon doesn’t let that affect its performance on the track.
Having a 7.0 speed rating and 6.9 launch rating, the Falcon can easily hold its own out on the roads against more attractive options, such as the GTO and Mustang. Costing 80,000 in-game credits, the Falcon is a real bargain for its speed and acceleration output. Its other major flaw is its braking ability, coming in with a 4.6 rating. Still, if fans seek speed over control and reliability, the Falcon could be the car for them.
10 69′ Oldsmobile Hurst/OLDS 442
This classic two-door, boasting a 455 Cubic-inch Rocket V8 engine, is the definition of solid. While the in-game ratings for this car aren’t impressive on paper, it also doesn’t disappoint.
With a 5.8 speed rating and 6.3 launch rating, the Hurst with the fiberglass hood scoop is a solid buy. Costing gamers 65,000 in-game credits, the Hurst isn’t flashy but it gets the job done. Braking is the main issue holding back this classic muscle car, coming in at a measly 4.3 rating.

7 70′ Chevelle Super Sport Barrett-Jackson Edition
This Barrett-Jackson Edition Chevelle is a terror of the roads. This sleek, one of a kind vehicle ran the roads for much of the 70s and Forza Horizon 4 made sure not to forget that. Any gamer who enjoys fast paced action and is looking for a mix of power and speed (while not trying to break the bank) should look here at this absolute speed demon.
This road runner puts out a 7.8 speed rating and a 7.8 launch rating with ease. Costing 105,000 in game credits, this classic muscle car is worth every penny. It has a 6.2 brake rating and 6.1 acceleration rating, edging it above some of its competition in the statistics department.

3 87′ Firebird Trans AM GTA
Another solid contender is the gold-rimmed, two-door muscle car from Pontiac. Coming in with a 6.2 speed rating and a 6.8 launch rating, the Trans Am is the quintessential muscle car of the 1980s.
This third generation vehicle, with its V8 engine, hits a 4.8 handling rating. Its attractive body, rear fin and pop up headlights are really of another era. Costing gamers a surprisingly low 25,000 in game credits, the Trans AM is one of the greatest bargains in the game, but its budget price point does hold it back somewhat.
2 00′ Ford SVT Cobra R
This two-door bottle rocket is an absolute blast to drive around the streets of the Great Britain map in Forza Horizon 4. As the fastest factory produced Mustang Ford produced up to that point in history, this car has an abundance of speed. Coming in with a 7.3 speed rating this car can compete with some of the fastest cars in the game.
Only costing gamers 55,000 in game credits, the SVT is fighting for the best deal in the game. With a 7.4 launch rating and 5.7 handling rating this car excels at street racing and circuits. Although one of several different versions of the Ford Mustang are available in the game, the 2000 SVT rises above the rest, but may not be the very last word in Forza Horizon 4 classic muscle cars.
1 63′ Monaco King Cobra
This little convertible car is as unique as it is fast. Clocking in with one of the fastest drag race times in the game, this car is for gamers looking to splash the credits and flex their muscles on the track. Costing a whopping 550,000 in game credits (though it’s still far from the most expensive car in the game), this car is built for speed with its 289 cubic-inch V8 engine.
Its 7.4 in game speed rating is only boosted by its 8.7 launch rating, making this car a nightmare to race against on any hard road tracks. Despite its overwhelming speed, the King Cobra doesn’t lack handling either with its 7.2 handling rating. With its body paving the way for the more universally recognizable 1965 Shelby Cobra, this vehicle is also a beautifully crafted car with a lot of unique curves and features, making it an excellent choice.
