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.
The 1971 Mustang was released into a fading pony-car market, and the new larger, heavier design didn't help. Government regulations were beginning to sap power from muscle cars, leaving the new Boss 351 Mustang as the best performer. The 351-cubic-inch Cleveland V8 engine made 335 horsepower, launching the car to a 5.8-second zero-to-60 mph time and a 13.8-second quarter-mile. It also featured a competition-tuned suspension, wide 15-inch tires, functional hood scoops and front power-disc brakes. Ford dropped the car midyear, so only 1,806 were built, effectively ending Mustang performance for more than a decade.
