Who will reach 1000 HP from manufacture first, AMG/M or the Americans? I'm not talking about super cars but muscle cars. My guess is AMG.

Every once in a while America comes out with something awesome (see Hellcat and ACR) but I think AMG will, because BMW doesn't really make high power M3/4s.

I really don't count AMG's as muscle cars. Muscle cars are affordable straight line beasts. AMG's are 6 digit super sedans (and coupes) with carbon ceramic brakes and much, much more attention to handling. Yes, they can do smokey burnouts and drifts but so can an M3 and we don't call those muscle cars.
I guess everyone has their own definition but in my mind AMG's are just high powered cars, not muscle cars.

I just consider them German muscle cars. Of course they cost more and have better handling but that's said across the board when comparing to american cars.

I'm guessing that the Americans will (the Shelby 1000 DOES exist, remember?), because AMG is only dishing out huge power to keep winning speed wars despite the fact that their cars are extremely heavy. So unless BMW and Audi start touching 800HP first, AMG won't break 4 digits. I just don't realistically seeing the others getting that far.
However, the US HP war is still going strong thanks to the GT500 and now Hellcat.
However, EVERY motor out there right now isn't ready for 1000HP, so whenever we see it, it will be at least 5-10 years down the road (just like how it took us 10 years to break 700 from 500) until after they develop entirely new, larger, and better cooled blocks.

Fair point. I just always considered affordability as part of the equation.

i choose amg because it's easy to get almost 1000 right now. Look at Brabus and Carlson, hamann klemmann etc oh and the street Shelby 1000 had 950 track only has over 1000

It's just as easy to get 1000HP out of a Challenger engine (arguably easier), the AMG V8s are just more expensive to start out at. For the same cost, any of the Dodge V8s can be brought into the quadruple digits easily.

yeah that might be true,specially with their new twin turbo engines i mean they're nice but....and they don't come with a Manual or even a decent Auto but they have the flavor of a Muscle car in a German way:P but they're way more expansive,don't look mean at all (their design is for old people). i just have a dream that one day i'll take every M156 engine when they depreciate even more and put it in some great car.

I can see Dodge/SRT making the F.Y.E.P.A. Edition Viper and Challenger with some sort of variation of the V10 at the rate they are going now. So 'Murica for me.
