A car built between 1960 and 1980, usually has a large 6 cylinder engine (179 - 250ci) or a small V8 (308ci - 350ci) or a large V8 (396ci - 454ci)
Usually isn't fuel injected, the hot 6's usually have triple carburettors, the V8's one or two. Me being from Australia might have a different view to people from the USA but we still love our muscle cars. Will always win in an accident, I had an accident in my Torana, got the 350 Chev in it fixed and she was good again. None of this plastic S**t you get today with the crappy turbos, my Torana makes 300hp stock without turbo's, a Skyline makes 320hp with 2 turbos to make up for its crappy displacement.
And they still can't beat me!

In Australia, a muscle car is a Holden Torana 1971 - 1979, which came in 2 door until 1975 then became 4 door or 2 door hatch. Engines were a 186ci or 202ci Holden 6, 253ci Holden V8, 308ci Holden V8 or 350ci Chev V8 (V8's after 1975, not before) There are many more but I would state my favourite.
In America, a Chevrolet Camaro 1969 - 1972, a Dodge Charger R/T 426 Hemi (a beauty of a car), a Plymouth Barracuda.
