Muscle Car

Badass class of cars created almost exclusively by americans. The prime of the muscle car was during the 60s-70s where cars were often equiped with the biggest engines possible. The 80s saw a slow of muscle cars due to fuel prices, and the ford mustang even lowered it's standards to allow a 4 cylinder engine, defyng the "theres no replacement for displacement". This was corrected in the 90s there was a decent revival of the old legends, mainly the camaro, firebird, and mustang holding the banner for affordable, badass, and extreme speed for money. Although most muscle cars died by the late 90s, they are being revived currently and address the old issue of "american cars can't handle" to make them the ultimate in affordable sprts cars,;unless the communist president and current lord of the U.S. manages to stop their produciton and implement hybrid cars. The main competitor for the muscle cars is the imported "eco/sports" car, aka ricers, who reckon a couple stickers makes up for the torque lost by their pure horsepower engines.
Muscle car legends include: Corvette, Camaro, Firebird, Charger, Challenger, Mustang, Baracuda, Monte Carlo, Nova, Cougar, and many more American made rear wheel drive 300+ cube v8s built for pure horsepower.. Some english cars approach the muscle car ideology and may also be considered muscle cars in certain company.

Typical person 1: American muscle cars are redneck rods that only go fast in a straight line and are inferior to european and asian tecnolodgy

Informed person 1: Yeah... Ok.. Please look up Nurburgring (one of the trickiest turning courses in the world) lap times.. Oh wait.. the fastest production car lap time is a corvette? And your 250,000+ car placed where? yeah that sucks for you.
