Houston Muscle Car Hire - Advice Please

I am going to Houston next year and would like to hire a new generation muscle car. I thought there would be lots of choice via the Internet, but choice seems limited to a Corvette. Plan is to drive to Austin, San Antonio and maybe some other locations. Duration of holiday is 15 days.
Has anyone any tips on car hire and anything else?
Ian

Try the Hertz Adrenaline collection:

I had a Mustang from them a couple of years back, while in Ohio for a 12 days.
The Camaro SS has 420+ bhp, which should be ample

It looks like its a V6. Really looking for a V8.
It is probably me, but I don't find the Hertz site for the Adrenaline site very user friendly.
If you compare the price to European car hire the price is pretty good at just over £1k for 15 days.
Cheers,
Ian

They're all V8's from the Hertz link:
Any Mustang with a GT badge is usually a 5l V8
The Camaro's an SS model = 6.2l V8
The Challenger R/T's a 5.7l V8 hemi
The site is a bit poor, but prices are pretty decent - Most other hire companies that rent Mustangs / Camaros use V6's
(Remember and google around for Hertz cashback deals at topcashback & Quidco / voucher codes before booking).

Thanks for the help and the tip re the voucher sites. Not used them before, if it does what it says on the labels, it is a 8-10% saving.
I will give it another go ......
Cheers, Ian

Had previously looked at this briefly for US hol next summer - but bottled it and booked an SUV for us and the kids for less than £300 for a fortnight

Me and Simon Ironside both hired mustangs when we went to California a few years back. They only had one though, and I got upgraded to a V8 corvette. You can imagine his annoyance
