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

Chevrolet killed the Camaro after the 2003 model year, then brought it back for 2010 with a 6.2-liter 426-horsepower V8 engine. It got a lot more power for 2012, when Chevrolet tweaked the Cadillac CTS-V's 6.2-liter V8 to churn out 580 horsepower in the new Camaro ZL1. While the ZL1 would be bested by the 662-horse Ford Shelby GT500 a year later, the ZL1 was the fastest Camaro ever, posting a 4.0-second zero-to-60-mph time and conquering the quarter-mile in 12.3 seconds. Handling was also enhanced by the CTS-V's Magnetic Ride Control suspension, lightweight wheels and sticky Goodyear Supercar tires.
