The ZL1 Camaros were amazing of course, but lets face it that is an "extremely" rare car and I don't see how you can put that in with general muscle cars of the day. To be king it has to do everything well IMO. Fast, build quality, solid interior, handling, and just overall well sorted out. I have the LS6 at the top of the list. There are other cars to make the argument, but you can't argue the fact that GM musclecars were overall the most sorted out right out of the box.

I beg to differ. Again the LS6 came standard with a 3.31 non-posi rear. It was limited to F70x14 tires at a time that F60x15 tires were becoming very popular. The 1970 Chevelle SS, 442 and GTO did not offer 60 series tires as an option. The Buick GS455 did - G60x15. And speaking of those GM muscle cars, all except the Chevelle SS came standard with G70x14 tires. Why didn't Chevy make them standard on the Chevelle SS?
When it's all said and done, tires are such an important part of a muscle car. Right up there at the top of the list with rear end gear ratio and "posi" rear.
