American Performance Cars
Typically, a muscle car was a coupe version of some of the larger cars that were pervasive on U.S. highways in the 1960s and 1970s. The Mustang and Camaro, however, were designed separately [although they both heavily borrowed parts from other models] and these "pony" cars were a category all to themselves. For comparison's sake, they join the Dodge Challenger, a performance version of Mopar cars of its time. All three were compared by critics of that time and all three will once again be compared in a few years when production has been ramped up.

<b>Ford Mustang</b> -– Step back in time with me to April 1964 to an era when America was heavily involved in the space race, Lyndon Johnson was president, and General Motors ruled autodom. Ford, for its part, had been nipping at GM's heels for years, but the failed Edsels of the late 1950s had cost the company dearly. Still, it was the time of the New York World's Fair and Ford used the fair and television technology to promote its newest offering, the Mustang. A 2+2 coupe borrowing parts from the Fairlane and Falcon, the 1964 ½ model was the first one sold and is widely credited with being the best introduction of a new vehicle ever. With a V6 engine standard and V8 optional, the all new Mustang quickly broke sales records and has been a hot seller ever since. Indeed, with the introduction of the "retro" look Mustang in 2005, the car once again has spawned interest in the muscle car segment as both DaimlerChrysler and General Motors craft competing models of their own.
<b>Dodge Challenger</b> -– After the success of earlier muscle cars including the Dodge Charger and Plymouth ‘Cuda, the Dodge Challenger was launched as a 1970 model. The car borrowed heavily from the ‘Cuda although the sheet metal was somewhat different and the wheelbase was stretched by a couple of inches. Because the muscle car era was in decline at the time of its introduction, the Challenger lasted only five model years before it was cancelled. The concept Challenger currently on display at many auto shows is based on the 1970 design and is the talk of message boards and blogs across the nation. Look for Hemi powered engines as being favored by many owners; the car is likely to share some technology with the current Magnum wagon and Charger sedan.

American Muscle: Ford, Dodge, And Chevy
Back during the Nineteen Fifties through the mid Nineteen Seventies, Detroit automakers produced many cars that were out and out “muscle” cars. These varieties of vehicles shared the identical characteristics: they were two door coupes with souped up engines, responsive transmissions, an aggressive exterior style, and a sporty interior. High fuel costs and changing tastes eventually limited sales to the point where solely a few models were made beyond that period of time. Today, muscle automobile mania is back, despite even higher gas prices. Thanks to the Ford Mustang and to a lesser extent to sedan and wagon models from Dodge, there's new interest during a class long given up. The long run is bright for the muscle car section as yet one more manufacturer, Chevrolet, considers bringing back one of its darlings of yesteryear, the Camaro.
Besides the Ford Mustang there have been a whole host of vehicles created that at only once or another may are considered a muscle car. Additionally to the Mustang, the Ford Fairlane 500 and Ford Torino did duty; the Mercury Montego was another model; Chevrolet made the Camaro and Corvette; Pontiac the GTO, Firebird, and Tempest; Olds the 442; Yank Motors’ had its Javelin; Plymouth had the ‘Cuda, and Dodge made the Challenger and also the Charger. These days, only the Mustang and Corvette survives although the Dodge Charger has returned as a four door muscle car together with its sibling, the new Dodge Magnum wagon.
Interestedly, it took Ford’s redoing of the Mustang for the 2005 model year to stir the present muscle car era craze. Styled when Mustangs designed within the 1960s, the present Mustang embraces a retro look while incorporating modern technology. The result has been {that the} Mustang currently sells its entire 150,000 model capacity without incentives.
The Mustang has been inspiring DaimlerChrysler to travel ahead with a retro cruiser of its own. The Dodge Challenger concept car, appearing at auto shows across the USA, has been an enormous hit and Chrysler plans on bringing the V8 hemi powered model back in 2009. Additionally, General Motors is considering giving its blessing on the Camaro, another car also making the rounds of the USA auto show circuit.
So, isn’t it silly to bring back such gas hogs? Back during the early Seventies, the then current crop of muscle cars averaged solely ten-12 miles to the gallon around town and 15 or sixteen miles per gallon on the highway. Thanks to laptop technology and efficiency, even the Corvette returns a highly respectable twenty eight miles to the gallon the highway. Therefore, although fuel mileage can certainly be not up to several other models, the new group of muscle cars can still better the previous generation cars with fuel mileage 80% or a lot of on top of the cars from the 1970s.
Fortunately, we have a tendency to still live in an exceedingly fairly free country and what the consumer desires, the buyer gets. So, V8 powered muscle cars mated to six speed manu-matic transmissions, with sport handling, bucket seats, and higher fuel economy will seemingly appeal to many. No, they won’t be precise duplicates of yesterday’s muscle cars, however they can give the nostalgia and power that motorists seek. I can’t wait!

What is your favorite muscle car and exactly why?
breaking my own rule, my 6 personal favorites are the 1966 Shelby Mustang GT 350, 1968 Pontiac GTO Judge, 1968 Plymouth Hemi Cuda, the 1967 Pontiac Firebird, and the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T and my dads old Cutlass 442 by the way can someone tell me things bout the 442???
Buick 442. Big strong engine. But has difficulties in age. Buick is infamous for their aluminum rods which tend to bend and break very often.
If you want a real muscle car, I suggest you get yourself a 1972 Chevelle SS 454, or the older 427. the 454 is significantly better though. The 1970 454 was a wider and longer Chevelle, making it heavier. The 71, and 72 were the same style, yet slightly lighter and smaller. 69 and lower were also very good Chevelles.
The word Chevelle comes from the french word "Caval" which meant an iron-armored horse. Or be like me. do a quarter mile in under 10 seconds by only spending $3k on a Suzuki GSX-r750 bike.
