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

The 1968 Plymouth Road Runner represented the muscle-car ideal: lots of power in a basic midsize package. The Road Runner started life as a bare-bones Belvedere with a 383-cubic-inch 335-horsepower V8 engine, but buyers could spend an additional $714 to get the 426-cubic-inch 425-horsepower Hemi V8. With that engine, the car could cover the quarter-mile in about 13.5 seconds at 105 mph. The car also featured a heavy-duty suspension, a "beep-beep" horn, dual air scoops, bigger brakes and wider tires. Dodge and Plymouth paid Warner Bros. $50,000 to use the name and image of the Road Runner cartoon character and continued the theme in the coming years, adding playful graphics to the cars and the ad campaigns.
