5 fastest muscle cars in GTA 5 (and where to find them)

Muscle cars have a special fanbase in both Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online, and many players can be frequently seen driving them around the map. Rockstar Games included a plethora of them in Story Mode, and allowed players to drive most of them for free. High speed is also a main priority among car enthusiasts, and only a few of the muscle cars are faster than others in the game.

However, finding them is a major task as the title spawns mediocre vehicles more frequently. This makes obtaining high-speed muscle cars a quest in itself. This article lists five of the fastest muscle cars in GTA 5 Story Mode that players can drive for free.
