Muscle Cars

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.

Wallpaper Description:

While the Boss 302 was built for road courses, the Boss 429 was a drag-strip slayer. Ford's main reason for building it, however, was to qualify its 429-cubic-inch V8 engine for NASCAR racing. The big V8 featured exotic, semi-hemispherical heads and put out a vastly underreported 360 horsepower. Stuffing the big block under the hood required widening the car's track, modifying the suspension and wheel openings and moving the battery to the trunk. The Boss 429 covered the quarter-mile in 14.09 seconds — three-quarters of a second quicker than its little sibling. After building 852 Boss 429s for 1969, Ford prepared an additional 505 for 1970, the model's final year.
