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

In 1969, Dodge added the Charger Daytona aero special for NASCAR competition, and in 1970 it was Plymouth's turn. The Superbird was a Road Runner with a flush rear window, a pointed steel nose mated to Dodge Coronet front fenders, and a 25-inch-high rear spoiler meant to aid downforce on NASCAR's superspeedways. The NASCAR racers received the 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8 engine, and so did 135 street cars. It cranked out 425 horsepower and vaulted the Superbird to a 13.5-second quarter-mile time for Car and Driver. These gaudy cars were a tough sell in their day, but today they are coveted collectibles.
