muscle car

Requirements:
1. First and foremost, it must be made in AMERICA! Fuck yeah!
2. Rear drive only!
3. Must have a V8 95% of the time, with some domestic turbo 6s counted (Grand National, anniversary Firebird turbo, etc.)
4. Must have 2 doors 95% of the time, except in cases of old hotrod wagons or, barely, the new Charger Hemi.

Things automatically barring a car from being a muscle car:
1. Being made in Asia or Europe, or by a foreign country in the US.
2. Being front- or 4-wheel drive.
3. Having an engine with less than 6 or more than 8 cylinders, and must have forced induction if a 6.
4. Having more than 4 doors.
Muscle Car Timeline:
1949 - Olds introduces the Rocket 88, featuring cool styling, and a Kettering-designed OHV V8 producing 135hp from 303ci and a 7.5:1cr.
1955 - Chrysler introduces the Hemi-powered C300 luxury car. It's advanced 300hp powerplant gives it a top speed of 130mph, making it, at the time, the fastest production car in the world.
1957 - The hideous but fast AMC Rambler Rebel was made this year, featuring a 327ci engine.

1964 - Not since the 50s had their been a performance car this popular. Approved for production by John Delorean, the GTO was truely incredible for its time, with the optional 348hp Tri-Carb engine (and proper gearing) launching it to 60mph in 6 seconds; that's on 6"-wide tires! Unfortuneatly, no disc brakes were available. :(
1964-65 - In just a year or so, several prominent muscle cars were introduced by GM and Ford.
1968 - ChryCo brings out the infamous Road Runner and SuperBee models, favoring low options and big engines for incredible performance. Indeed, a 69 Hemi RR was capable of 0-60 sprints in the low 5-second range, all while driving on bias-ply tires (read: shitty) measuring about 7"-wide.
1971 - Facing raising gas prices and increasing insurance payments, manufacturers were forced to reduce compression on their engines, dropping power in large amounts.
1974 - Import econoboxes take over as the oil embargo swells and the last of the muscle cars die off, mere shells of their former glory.

Examples of Muscle Cars:
- AMC Javelin and AMX
- Buick GS models
- Chevy SS models
- Dodge R/T models
- Ford GT and XR models
- Plymouth Cudas, Dusters, RR/GTXs, and more
- Pontiac GTO and Firebird models

The average muscle car was capable of:
5.5 to 6.5s 0-60 sprints
12 to 14s 0-100 sprints
120-140mph top speeds
.80g skidpad #s (not bad for 18:1 steering and 7" tires)
58-63mph slalom speeds (see above parenthesis)
70-0 braking distances in the range of 120-135ft. (thats even good today!)

And 12-13mpg.

muscle car

A group of American made cars that were produced between the late-50's and early-80's. The engines were usually high horsepower and high torque and when tuned correctly, got between 15 and 30 mpg. Typically, they ran 11 to 14 seconds on the quarter mile and speed up to 160mph, stock. Most weighed between 2500lbs and 4500lbs (Many were a bit lighter than todays cars) Even though considered obsolete by todays standards, A restored muscle car would be worth $10,000 - $150,000, and some muscle cars have sold for upwards of $3 million at auctions.
" Contrary to popular belief, not all American cars made in the 60's and 70's were considered a muscle car "

Muscle Car Junkie

A Ignorant Muscle car enthusiast that thinks only american muscle is the way to go. Some overdue it to the point where its only american v8's are good cars. "Notice how they wont talk about anything else besides the engine." Muscle car Junkies are often found hating on other peoples cars for no aparent reason, and cant tell a difference between a tuner and a ricer. They assume just because they saw a ricer with a Giant wing. Every Japanese car enthusiast is the same. Muscle car Junkies are not to be confused with the average Muscle car enthusiast that respects all other cars Or that just like american cars.A normal muscle car enthusiast that would see a (For example) A modified civic would ask him/her "What do you got under the hood? I like how your car isnt riced it actualy looks great too." While a muscle car junkie would say "RICER STUPID 4 BANGER GET A V8" They may even hate on other muscle cars because they think only THERE car is they best. Muscle car junkies also do not race in any other type of motorsport besides quarter mile drag racing. Some MAY perform in longer drags. Muscle car junkies are a disgrace to the car scene, the muscle car enthusiast, AND America period. If you run into them, Try to ignore them. Then they might have to go pick on some soccer mom driving a minivan to feel good about themselves.
Muscle car enthusiast: Nice civic What are you running under there? How much power?

Tuner car enthusiast: About 350 HP. It isnt bad at all. It handles well too. I have some suspension tuning on it that makes it handle great.

Muscle car enthusiast: It looks good too. No ricy bodykits. Just some nice Aero parts that function and look clean.

Tuner car enthusiast: Thanks I like your stang too. Must be fast.

Muscle car enthusiast: Yeah it is. Im running around the same amount of power as you. I like drag though. You drive anything else? I have Chevelle too.


Tuner car enthusiast: I have a Toyota Supra.

Muscle car Junkie: Well My Cammaro will beat all of you. My supercharged V8. Face me in a drag and see what happens. You ricer boy face me! You too! in the mustang ford sucks. My chevy will eat all of you!

Both the tuner and the muscle car enthusiast smoke the muscle car junkie leaving him at the line with his Burnt clutch from all of his useless burnouts.

Musclecar

Vodka and V8. Put two toothpicks over the top of the glass, each with two olives, one at each end of each toothpick. Do NOT cross the toothpicks (the toothpicks represent two axels and the pimentoes four wheels & the green olives four tires. No straws or umbrellas please.
I'd like a Musclecar with a Cheese-Burger Deluxe.
