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:

Muscle cars: 20 that made history

Chrysler got into the horsepower race by introducing the Hemi V8 engine in 1954 and installing it in the midsize 300 sedan in '55. However, the '56 Chrysler 300B was especially significant because it was the first American car to produce one horsepower per cubic inch. The Hemi engine grew to 354 cubic inches in 1956 and made 355 horses when ordered with optional dual carburetors and a 10:1 compression ratio. Zero to 60 arrived in about nine seconds, and the '56 model, like the '55, dominated NASCAR racing. A total of 1,102 were sold.
