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.
A recent trip to the dyno for some tuning has brought Randy’s ’67 Charger one step closer to completion. It’s been an ongoing project for the last 21 years and in its current form is one hell of a sleeper. The engine he was tuning is a 451ci big-block with SMPI, eight coils firing wasted spark, and twin turbos backed up by a Viper T-56 six speed. Yeah, doesn’t look the part, does it? On the rollers it spun those 15-inch Kelly Chargers to the tune of 729 rear-wheel horsepower and 711 lb-ft of torque. You never saw that coming, did you? To top it off, thanks to a stock 8.75 diff equipped with 3.23 gears Randy says those numbers were followed up by a calculated 18 mpg on the trip home. Wow. Next on the list is redoing the suspension and generally making the Charger look like an untouched original, just to really mess with people’s heads. Hey Randy, when you get this beast finished, let us know!
