Celebrating the coolest cars ever made, nothing like the sound of that engine when you turn that key.
Muscle car is an American term used to refer to a variety of high-performance automobiles. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines muscle cars as "any of a group of American-made 2-door sports cars with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving." A large V8 engine is fitted in a 2 or 4 door, rear wheel drive, family-style full-size car designed for four or more passengers. Sold at an affordable price, muscle cars are intended for street use and occasional drag racing. They are distinct from two-seat sports cars and expensive 2+2 GTs intended for high-speed touring and road racing.
In the late 1960s, the Chevrolet Camaro consistently beat the Mustang in Trans-Am, a pony-car racing series, so Ford set out to do something about it. The result was the 1969 Mustang Boss 302. Horsepower from the small-block 302-cubic-inch V8 was underrated at 290, and buyers could choose from close- or wide-ratio 4-speed manual transmissions. The Boss 302 also received several changes to make it faster around a racetrack. Unique front and rear spoilers cheated the wind, large-diameter power brakes cut down stopping distances, and heavy-duty shocks and springs teamed with a wider track to help it carve through corners.
