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.
Within the popular Fastest Street Car racing scene, the 1978 Malibu owned by Missouri’s Jason Carter and driven by Mark Micke stands alone. Not only is this truly creative turbocharged car unique, it is also of championship pedigree. During 2013, the duo scored a points championship in the (now defunct) ADRL Pro Drag Radial category and then duplicated that by also winning the NMCA championship in the Super Street 10.5 class (winning four of five events attended). Focus is now within the NMCA’s demanding Mickey Thompson Drag Radial category. A new dimension is that the team has converted its combination from gasoline to an alcohol-burning Nelson Competition-built 540ci engine equipped with twin 98mm Garrett GTX turbochargers. The performance objectives are stout, with the team targeting runs in the 4.0-sec zone and speeds nearing 190 mph (eighth-mile).
