The kind of car that just blew your doors off. Why all the muscle car bashing? Have you ever owned one? driven one? I doubt it. Muscle cars were built from about 1964 to 1972. Camaros and Mustangs are not muscle cars, they are generally refered to as pony cars. Muscle cars are mid sized cars with large displacement engines. A muscle car in the truest sense is a big block V8 car. A muscle car can't have a 6 cylinder and be a true muscle car, even if it is the same body style. Just because you drive a pile of import crap doesn't mean you should bad mouth real pieces of automotive history. They were built decades ago and are still faster and worth more than your import car. Exhaust tips, graphics, stereo systems and spoilers don't make your car faster. You think trailer trash drive muscle cars? Have you seen the prices of muscle cars lately? Many are worth far more than the house you live in.

Get the muscle carmug. 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.

Get the Muscle Carmug. A car worthy of being called and not just a little piece of shit that was wound up at the fact 7-8 million times before being released into the American Market.

Get the muscle carmug. Before you can play hate on imports, you have to see a real tuner. Not a civic, corolla, camry, silvia, focus, or anything like that. Usually tuners don't have many fancy aftermarket brands put on the side, and they'll always kill rice burners with all the stickers. Tuners include supras, evos, skylines, stis, 3000gts, rx7s, and S2000s.
Muscle cars aren't always poor handling, gas guzzling sports cars, at least not the newer ones. Those that say imports suck are the ones who those air scoops that do nothing more than block the view. Or it could be one of those who think they can drift because the car slides like a bitch. Tuners do NOT need massive engines to drift. Some of the older muscle cars were Skylarks, Mustangs , Camaros/firebirds, or chargers. Today's muscle cars are mostly Mustangs, Camaros, or Challengers.

Camaro driver: Hey, how did you beat that 69 mustang?
3000GT driver: The race had turns, but I still was on his ass on the straights.
Camaro driver: It's so foolish for muscle cars to challenge tuners to race with turns, I'm gonna mod my suspension.

Get the Muscle Carmug. A type of high-performance vehicle.
Contrary to popular belief, the first muscle car was not the Pontiac GTO, but the Chevrolet Impala SS 409, introduced in 1962. The GTO, however, started the muscle car revolution upon its launch in 1964. Most muscle cars were simply spiced-up versions of other, more ordinary models. Most muscle cars were mid-sized. The Ford Mustang introduced a more compact-sized type of muscle car called the pony car, or "pocket msucle car."
The muscle car era ended in the 70s due to increased safety standards(goddamned Ralph Nader!), increased emission standards(goddamned EPA!), and the 1973-1974 Middle East oil embargo(goddamned Arabs!). The Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am pony cars survived, albeit in a watered-down state.
In the 1980s, muscle cars began making a comeback that continues to this day.

The Pontiac Tempest was an ordinary car, but installing a high-performance engine made it a muscle car.

Get the muscle carmug. The best cars in history. Started in the greatest city ever, Detroit. When put against pussies like british, german or any other european cars, the muscle car will beat the shit out of it. V-8, CID, Detroit Muscle, bitch. V-12's with cylinders the size of quarters? NO!
Gumba Gumba is a douchebag, retard because he doesn't know shit about real cars, muscle cars.
Again, Gumba Gumba is a douche because he said that "the chassis will typically crumple in any accident" Uh, not really jackass, it's called steel, which is something called strong.
My T/A can tear the shit out of that fag's gay BMW.
I remember the good ol days when if someone wasn't driving a muscle car, you'd shoot them.
