American manufactured cars from a bygone era. Started as a marketing war between American automakers in the early '60s typically identified as mid-sized "A" body cars with large displacement engines that produced high horsepower and higher than normal torque. Most muscle cars were produced from 1964 thru 1972. Quarter mile speed and acceleration was the theme of the era along with styling. Not much else mattered to the targeted consumer. These cars are radically different than today's technologically advanced "rice-burners" and sub-compacts but their appeal lies in their history and styling. Many uscle cars command high prices due to their rarity. If you want to see them all, attend the Woodward Ave. Cruise in Detroit, Michigan ...usually the 3rd weekend in August. 40,000 of them
Notable muscle cars include the Chevrolet Chevelle & Camaro, Ford Mustang, Buick Skylark, Pontiac GTO & Firebird, Dodge Charger & Challenger and Plymouth Roadrunner, to name a few

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
