An American performance car characterized by huge, powerful engines, poor handling, and rock and roll.
The two most iconic muscle cars: Camaro and Mustang.
Both of them have history stretching back to the sixties. Which of them is better?
The answer: I don't care; Porsche 911 smokes them both to hell anyways.

A car with a large V8 and steel bumpers made before 1976.
A perfect example is the Falcon GT.
Falcon GT was a Bathurst winner and now the most sought after Aussie Muscle car ever.
They asking price of a XY HO Phase 3 GT equals the the combined value of all T series falcons combined.
FYI a T series is a late model Australian Falcon V8 with a body kit...Not a GT or a muscle car Per Se.

A performance car that's very different from a sports car. Louder engines with deeper bass, engines from V8 and V10, bolder designs, more naturally performanced, and are classics. However, they're a piece of junk compared to sports cars because they have shitty handling since they're made for drags only and no circuits, heavy as hell from their frames and engines, boring designs, and in the shop more often than on the road. They're also American made cars, while sports cars are American made, Asian made, and European made.
Muscle Car owner: You my car broke down twice and costed me 2 grand to fix it.
Sports Car owner: Wow that's a muscle car you have their. My sports car never had any problems and it's on the road all the time.

An all-American V8 rear wheel drive car from the 60-70s. Generally an affordable model with a huge engine. Not known for comfort, safety, or efficiency. They were, however, long-lasting, and reliable.
Anyone driving a muscle car today is simply enjoying the raw power of the large displacement engine.
Muscle car drivers have no sense of irony, they want the fastest car so they get the one with the biggest engine so they can be unquestionably the fastest.
Import drivers enjoy the quiet, comfortable, reliable, efficient and nimble nature of imports. If an import driver adds performance parts and races the car he/she understands the inherent irony in doing so.
In a nutshell, muscle car cars are for guys who get off easy, they like to cum in the first 12 seconds just like their daddy did.
Imports cars are for people who have more considerations when purchasing a car. No one has purchased a Civic just for the purpose of out-running a Mustang.
Import enthusiasts have to disrespect muscle cars because comparable American cars such as the Cavalier have no defenders.

Muscle car driver: "I wish my daddy could see me smokin this 1.8 liter commuter car car with my 400hp V8, he'd be so proud of me."
Import driver: "What the hell is this guy doing? I just need to turn left at the next light"

Great cars but do to there big cc engines led them to less demand and not being sold worldwide hence not many people in the world knowing many of them.
Do to the cost of petrol and compulsory insurance in many countries being high Muscle type cars where in practical,leaving the door open to allow other cars to be made popular in the world mainly Japanese version even tuned down many where open to tuning there engines to high bhp for little cost on some cars.
Due to this many Americans feel angry that there cars are less popular and talk about how there old cars are better although again,this isnt always the case due to power being released same as and more BHP from really small cc Japanese engines.
Knowing that Japanese engines have been detuned this is there defence and pretend they dont know so they can say there BHP is more overall.And often compare against low cc imports only.
Overall great cars and offer a lot of power and offer great looks, let down by owners and fans making such a stance with them,and fact not opinion suffer once leave a straight line.

Muscle car great looks great power.
My muscle can beat your skyline if still running detuned which is fair for me.
a corner hold on.
