A style of car that became popular in the US, which, while it makes a pretty good growl, manages to produce very little power, despite having 6+ litres of displacement. While they were very quick (and actually rather good looking and stylish in their own way) in the 60s and 70s, modern muscle cars are now left standing by Euro and Japanese cars (such as the supra, skyline, and BMW 3,5,6 series) of much smaller displacement, with more BHP and more BHP/Litre which also offer better fuel economy, better styling, and aerodynamics than their fat, sluggish, ugly, thirsty american counterparts.
The 69 Chevelle SS, 69 mustang, and C2 Corvette stingray are examples of great classic muscle cars, all very cool.
The 2008 Mustang managed to achieve a shocking 210 bhp from a 4.0l engine, America should be ashamed to claim that it is a performance vehicle, the Japanese get nearly 50% more than that from an engine half the size.

an old ass american made in efficent V8 typically owned by red neck, spoiled white boys who get "daddy" to buy it for them there always weigh a fucking ton,loud and slow as death and has the resale value of a fucking scooter that uses a ton of gas and breaks down every five feet. and then they seem suprised when a car with 4 cylinders whips there ass and even with the mods cost less then there "muscle car"

Cars with sucky engines that have a bad sound. Acura Integras have a higher redline than that of any muscle car. Muscle cars suck.
Did you see that Integra beat that Camaro. The Camaro had evey upgrade, but the Integra had twin turbos.

A person who is a extreme Muscle car lover, and the type that doesn't like anything that is foreign, aka a nationalist. Primary reason for their muscle car love is the "America, FUCK YEA" attitude. Uses derogatory words to describe anything from Japan or Europe. Thinks that engine power is the only aspect of a performance car. Can be seen doing burnouts in a beat up automatic 94 mustang, which later gets smoked by a Subaru Impreza wagon with half the displacement and cylinders. Doesn't get the point of "handling". Thinks that all import cars are Honda Civics. Not to be confused with a car enthusiast.
Subaru Wagon driver: "Hey is that the 5.0?"
Muscle car Junkie: "no, its a 4.6, too much for you to handle"
*Mustang loses by 5 car lengths*
Subaru Wagon driver: "good thing that race didn't have any turns"
