A car that should be respected by all americans even if they drive ricers.
A car that will go 0-60 in 5 seconds but will guzzle gas 20x faster than a honda

Usually American. These big, powerful cars are only given to police detectives from the 1970s and by law, must take turns sideways. Special coating means that despite hitting everything from traffic signs to trash cans in high speed chases, no scrapes or dents ever happen.

My 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 with a 461 and 519hp will KILL any import on the Road today and for the rest of my life.

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.

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.

Late 60's and Early 70's American performance cars, which had big displacement, high horsepower motors, and sleeper or stock look to them. Not to be confused with riceburners, 99% of which have a stock 120 horsepower SOHC 4 banger, with a huge spoiler on a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR (morons), non color matching ridiculous body kits, an exhaust bigger than the engine (and sounds like a fat fuck farting non-stop after eating chilidogs) and paint jobs that might seem cool to a pre-schooler.
Did you see those rusty looking muscle cars that beat the ridiculous looking riceburners at the racetrack? Get used to it!

Ground pounding throaty v8's built for performance. So all you little import fags put your Fast and furious tapes away, and come get your ass kicked at any race track you homos.
