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.

Muscle cars: 20 that made history

Muscle cars put more emphasis on straight-line speed than road course handling, so the Shelby Mustang and Boss 302 weren't muscle cars in the strictest sense of the term. Throw a rip-roaring big block under the hood, however, and you have a Mustang muscle car. Such was the case with the Cobra Jet 428-cubic-inch V8. Wildly underrated at 335 horsepower, a CJ-equipped Mustang posted a 13.56-second quarter-mile for Hot Rod magazine. CJ Mustangs enjoyed great success in the National Hot Rod Association's Super Stock class that season, but with that big, heavy engine under the hood they weren't great at taking corners.
