They are the most ugliest and poorly engieered cars in
the world which goes fast in a straight line alone.
the world which goes fast in a straight line alone.
These american muscle have huge V8 engines with around 7000cc
and make around 400hp.The brand new Mitsubishi Evo9 has
only 2000cc in engine capacity and still make over 400hp.
And remember that it is a stock car and its got only four cylinders.Most american muscle can burn the hell out of any stock japanese or european cars on a drag strip becuase they are not meant to do that.Here only straight line acceleration comes to the fore.They say american muscle is the fastest there.Perhaps for this they should check out the Bugatti Veyron which does 0-60 in sub 2.5 seconds and goes to a top speed of 255mph or even the more practicalBMW M5or even an Evo9.
When it comes to race tracks the americans know only about the Drag strips which is where a car goes fast in a straight line.But then there are things like corners on the road.All the pace the muscle cars have gathered on the straights will be lost there.They can even skid out of the road.Thus even a puny peugeot will come up with better lap timings.I think they should race these american muscle on genuine race tracks like the fearsome Nurburgring.There
even a stock BMW M3 can eat an american muscle.Since all the roads in the world are not straight, american muscle are the most impractical vehicles.Show them a 90 degree turn and they will end up in the junkyard.Even a stock Lotus Elise which makes only 125hp can out handle any american muscle and that means faster around a curvy race track.
Muscle cars are cars with the worst chassis and suspension setup around.
