I am a 77 year old woman . I had a new 1969 Mustang fastback. It had a 302 motor and I paid $2800 for it brand new off the lot. It had a lap seat belt and all my coworkers asked “why would I need a seatbelt, was I going to race it?”. I had it for 20 years and sold it to my brother.

[@michelesanville8822]

In 1989, I was 18 and my boyfriend drove a Grand National. That car was so bad ass. People would pull up next to us and rev their engines, wanting to race, and talk smack about how fast their cars were. Mitch had a custom license plate frame that read THE BULLSHIT STOPS WHEN THE GREEN LIGHT POPS. Such great memories!

[@PaolaBarrientos]

5:04 my brother and I were at a DQ (fast food chain restaurant) near NASA here in Houston and we saw an elderly couple in a Shelby mustang just like the blue one in this video. We approached them and talked to them for a while about the car, long story short they let us take pictures in the car. They were so lovely but didn't say how much it was. They only said it was a pretty penny.

[@danahickman5716]

For graduation my mother gave me a 1973 Dodge Challenger. When I stepped on the gas, the front end would lift up. Years later, in 1993, a man pulled up next to me at a stop light and said he'd give me 5 grand on the spot. I also got whistles at the car. After 25 years, it rusted out so bad, I gave it to my ex-husband during our divorce.

[@rockyroad7345]

My brother had a really cool Barracuda and I loved stomping on the gas...it felt the same way.

[@livvyweimar7362]

I fully rebuilt a 77 Charger for my mom. It was a condition to get my license...not the specific car, just the rebuilding of any car. It was so my parents knew that I wouldn't ever get stuck on the road without the ability to help myself. I finished it in 1994, got my license in 1997 and she ran it into the ground. She finally sold it in 2008 for $14k to someone else that wanted a gorgeous project car...with over 600k miles on the "original" engine. I put it in quotes because with everything I had to fix, it was nearly new once I was done 😂😂😂 Good Times 😂😂😂

a muscle car is a sedan that a mom or dad might drive. but with a whacking great big engine in it so it goes fast.. Capris are UK muscle or the closest you got in that era. also Australia does Muscle cars as well

Capri was a sporty compact car. Not a muscle car. The buggest engine was a V6, most were 4 cylinders.

During an annual car show that happens in my city, I passed 6 cobras on my way to work. Apparently, the cobra fan club was out for a spin. The rumble of all those engines at once was pretty awesome.

My father worked for Chrysler and drove company provided luxury cars. He tired of the land yachts and asked HQ to send him something's with some "Guts!" Being heavy into SCCA Trans-Am racing, they sent him an AAR CUDA' which had not been factory prepped for street use. This car was a goddamn weapon, barley drivable on the street. Sadly, while being held overnight for servicing, someone broke into the lot and stripped that monster down to nothing. but was quickly replaced by a Charger R/T 440...best times ever. I was 10 at the time and was turned into a muscle'Head' by my father. Cornet 500 383, 66' Barracuda, 65 GTO, 69' Barracuda 340 Formula S...

I went to the Shelby American factory in Las Vegas when I was 13 they had the very first Shelby cobra on display there and it was amazing seeing a piece of history like that. Our tour guide told us that in 2011 an anonymous buyer offered 45 million for it and they turned it down, just shows how incredibly valuable some American cars can be over time

There's a reason Cobra replica kits have been very popular for decades.

[@randellmainer]

Good news, Kabir! You can buy a kit car that is shaped almost identically to the Cobra you loved so much! You'd need to put in the engine, transmission and add a few other things but it'd be a ton cheaper than $5,000,000!

[@garycamara9955]

You can get a cobra kit car for less than $50,000.

I had a 68 Coronet which was modified for Highway Patrol. The 383 hit over 120 and that was when i felt I had to back off. Friend had a 68 charger and 2 months later he was sent to Viet Nam. He had to sell it for a loss and almost didn't make it back.

[@JMO_1976]

I had a chance to get one of those in high school, but it was too far gone. I found a '73 Cutlass Supreme a few years later that I had for a year before a deer accident totaled it. About 10 years later I found a 1969 442 and am currently in the process of restoring it. Platinum body, black hood stripes, black vinyl top & interior, 400ci 4 bbl & Muncie 4 speed. It's all original, picked it up for $8k, by the time it's done I'll have between $40-50k into it. Right now they're going for $100k in #2 condition, but I'm looking forward to driving it in the years to come.

I had a 1979 Dark Blue Trans AM with Camel Tan interior. It had a Crap 406 Oldsmobile engine which I promptly got rid of. I replaced it with a Pontiac 455 big block. Balanced and blue printed. Edelbrock intake and a Holley 1100.. Cragar SS mags. 50" wide on the rear and and Blaupunkt stereo. We would pull the hood and add a supercharger and go racing. I grew up in North Charleston SC..that's the part of town where you would roll up the windows and slide down in the seat as you quickly drove through. It was also the Motorhead part of town.. You could see everything from a Yanko Camero to a Superbird. Mustangs, GTOs, Corvettes and Hemi-Cudas.. All lined up at Roberts Drive in or the McDonald's parking lot... The first time I went out racing in a friend's car it took us an hour and a half to get turned into the McDonald's parking lot on Rivers Ave.. There were over 150 cars of all types just looking to go race. We had 2 kinds of races. 1/4 mile of course And 1/2 mile racing top ends on a long looping curve. You start at 50mph and race top ends.. Challengers had the incoming lane.. Top speed... 187mph 1/4 mile 12.4 (heavy car) Dangerous? ABSOLUTELY Fun? Indescribable. Rick Charleston SC

[@xenialafleur]

Rear wheel drive cars are better balanced weightwise. This makes them handle better and makes them more rugged. The disadvantage to rear wheel drive cars is that they don't have good fuel efficiency. Back before the 1970's though, gas in the US was really cheap.

[@Diegokid]

I once had to take an uber to work. I was picked up in a hellcat. That was the most awesome ride to work or anywhere that I've had. Needless to say but I felt like a boss walking into work after people saw what car dropped me off. LOL

[@garycamara9955]

I love how people born after the 70s explain what a muscle car is. I experienced the muscle car era. We had probably a dozen muscle cars in the highschool parking lot in 1966, most of the rest were either tri five chevies or mom cars. My mom had a 421 Pontiac Catalina.

[@garycamara9955]

The Austin Healey came with both a 4cyl (early cars) and a straight 6. I have seen several converted to V8s. In fact a freind raced a 100 4 with a small block Ford i. It.

[@mikes3827]

Kabir, you're pretty much on point when describing the American "muscle car" (and, yes, the term was/is an American thing). The cars themselves weren't necessarily luxurious or designed to hug curves on a racetrack like a Porsche, but rather they were largely designed for straight-line speed with HUUUGE horsepower numbers under the hood, along with an intimidating, muscular presence (hence the name). LOTS of cool classic rides, to be sure, and I'm guessing one of these cars riding down a main street in London would create quite a scene lol.

[@garycamara9955]

The Cobra had a Ford drive train. It was an English AC body. The body was aluminum over steel tube. Parts can be found at most parts stores. Just not body parts.

[@randalmayeux8880]

Hi Kabir! I grew up in the muscle car era. I mean the period of 1966 to 1975 or so. Most of them weren't the exotic examples shown here. The Plymouth Roadrunner and GTX, the Pontiac GTO, the Dodge Challenger and Charger, Buick 442, Chevy Camaro and SS 396 and even the Cadillac Eldorado, and I almost left out the Firebird. These cars weren't really hi tech, it was more about raw power and mind numbing acceleration, and less about handling, at least on the streets. I had a '66 GTO with a 389 two speed automatic transmission. If you took off and held the pedal to the floor, it didn't shift into second gear until you hit 80+ mph, at which point you had to be careful because the rear wheels could break loose. The Hemi Roadrunner was a killer machine, especially the '69. Although it really wasn't considered a muscle car, my parents bought a '69 Oldsmobile 88 four door. It looked like an ordinary family car, but it had a 455 cubic inch engine and the speedometer was calibrated up to 145 mph. I just had to see if it would really go that fast, so one afternoon I took it out on the freeway, put my foot to the floor and got a little past 135mph before I had to back off. It was still pulling strong but I could no longer feel the road, it felt like it wanted to float around, so I backed off. I had a lot of fun, and I lived through it, in fact I never had an accident.

[@garycamara9955]

The 442 was an Oldsmobile

[@garycamara9955]

In 1968 I was offered a 455SD Trans Am at the local dealer. I turned it down because before picking it up they undercoated the car. I wanted to autocross it. I asked them to remove the undercoat. They said they couldn't, I turned down the car. Undercoat adds weight.

[@DMWolFGurL]

I saw a high speed chase on live tv once where the Hellcat was outpacing and outrunning the herlicopter that was slowly losing sight of it, until it just couldn't keep up with the car anymore. That was incredibly impressive.

[@roniyardley8945]

Rear wheel drive was the norm in the 60's& 70's

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Many of these cars are a piece of cake to restore as there are companies that make just about any part you would ever need for a restoration. As a matter of fact you can now build a new vintage Mustang or a 1957 Chevrolet as a complete new chassis and body are available as well as complete interiors. Yes, Kabir classic car restoration is very easy in the US, especially if you choose a model that was very popular when new because then it makes sense for companies to produce parts for it today.

[@jasonmarquis7586]

To buy one of these rare super cars, you're going to need deep pockets. But there are tons of classic cars out there for just a few thousand. I'm rebuilding a 1956 Dodge Lancer Custom Royal that I picked up for only 2000$.

He also had a 1968 Camaro SS that he put ambit block Corvette engine. The Camaro was drivable the Plymouth was a work in process at the time. He wasreworking the engine. He use to race the Plymouth and didn't lose many races. Unfortunately he passed away before he could finish either of them.

[@garycamara9955]

Plymouth didn't make the challenger, Dodge did.

Aloha! My first car as a senior in high school was a used '69 Ford Mustang Fastback (with a 265 hp automatic).😁She needed a little TLC, but I loved it! Especially pulling into the school parking lot in it. Couple of years later, her engine was swapped out for a 302 manual... I actually missed my turn back into the neighborhood cuz I was going so fast on my first test drive 😃🤙Woohoo!!! The sound of a muscle car on the move will always turn my head.

[@jvdixie]

My parents bought my sisters and I muscle cars for our 16th birthdays. I got a ‘73 Chevy Camaro. My oldest sister got a ‘73 Ford Mach I Mustang. You could find us lining them up with others to drag race most weekends. Daddy was the manager at a car dealership so the mechanics kept them running in tip top condition. My boyfriend drove a 64 1/2 Ford Mustang and my sister’s guy drove a ‘70 Plymouth Hemi Cuda. Of course, we drove all of these in the ‘70s before they were classics. The fastest I ever drove her was 142 mph.

[@garycamara9955]

Actually Camaros, Mustangs, Cudas, are ponycars, not muscle cars.

[@LeftHans2God]

3:30 man, that just doesn't look like a 58 year old design. Timeless, I suppose

[@joanneth4919]

My folks bought a 1969 Chevy Nova V8 396 horse power. My mom made sure it was an automatic. And even though an automatic engine still was fast. We would go from the San Francisco peninsula up to Donner Lake and even go to over a 7,000 foot elevation, that car lost no power passing cars like they were standing still. Top end was shown as 120mph but I know when we got onto Nevada with no speed limit it cranked.

[@garycamara9955]

396 is cubic inches not horsepower.

[@joanneth4919]

@garycamara9955 yes Gary it was cubic inches. Same engine in the Chevelle SS. Our NOVA has the SS designation. My sister and her husband had a 67 Shelby Mustang. The fastest I ever experienced was driving I80 from Donner to Reno. In late 1960's no speed limit in Nevsds.

[@tandaknights9047]

We revived it and i drive it quite a bit in the summer time. But i wouldnt really classify it as a muscle car. This video doesnt really do these cars justice or even show all of them. You'd have to watch more videos and research or actually see a lot of these cars in person to fully understand. Such beautiful and badass cars from a by gone era.

My 1st car was an all-black '70 Chevy Chevelle.. bench seat, no chrome. Beautiful, fast, spacious car. Dad sold it for a profit less than 6 months later. Next car was a '79 Pontiac 'Firebird' Trans Am. Brown w/ tan interior & a big block engine. Got to fly down a straight road (where you could see for miles.. to make sure no cops were waiting!).. fastest i ever drove.. if memory serves, I topped out at around 120-130 mph before I had to slow before I ran out of road.

The Cobra, or more well known as the Shelby Cobra is one of the most copied high performance cars ever built. They are built in the UK, the US, South Africa, and even Poland.

I rolled out put her in 2d , manual 6 spd. An proceeded to say good bye. The next thing i know im waking up in the ditch. Long story short, car was totaled and im still recovering from a broken neck from a Whiplash from right to left. Apparently I had a stroke. Im doin ok now but you should look that car up !!! It was taunted as a "Ferrari killer", an guess what she killed em. A purpose built road racing Camaro. 650 hp /650 torque. I ran her in SCCA. 2018 ZL1 1LE Camaro. GM has a video of it doing the Nurnenburgring, its fast !!!

[@jaycooper2812]

The Buick Grand National turned A 4.6 second 0 to 60 on a 3.8 LITRE V6 and pushed out 276 horsepower and 360 pound feet of torque.

[@SUPRAMIKE18]

They were heavily underrated too, I had a family member that worked for Buick back in the day, he said they put several GNs straight off the assembly line on a Dyno and they averaged around 340hp.

[@garycamara9955]

It was actually faster than that 0 to 60.

[@jaycooper2812]

The Plymouth Superbird would do 200 mph right off the show room floor. It was so fast that Nascar banned it after 1 year.

[@garycamara9955]

One of the problems with the Superbird/Daytona was the wing prevented cars from drafting it. Part of the design.

[@George-ux6zz]

There's others you should check out. The 2019 + Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. 650 HP 650 torque it's freaking fast sounds amazing. The Corvette C7 ZR1 with 755 hp 755 torque. It has a chip in it the allows you to go only to 214 mph. If it wasn't governed it would go much faster. The Chevrolet Corvette C8 Zo6 is a super car. 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. It has a 5.5 liter flat plain crank , naturally aspirated engine, with a 8 speed dual clutch transmission. 670 hp mid engine design like European design. It competes with Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porche. It's 3.6 inches wider than the Stingray version of the C8. The Z06 sounds like a Ferrari. It's also governed to about 190 mph. Plus you can add features and basically design it how ever you want. If you go for the LT3 Z07 package you're loaded up with carbon fiber inside and out. I could be here describing everything or you can look up the video reviews of all these cars. It's better for the experts to tell you than me to write it. The C8 also comes in right hand drive.

[@danpals7678]

I drive a 66 Charger when I drive. I've had some nice old cars over the years. It really is fun to drive them and the value goes up every day.

[@hayneshvac2]

The movie Blade, he drove a 1968 Dodge Charger. Muscle cars weren't so much made for top speed as they were mostly for the 1/4 mile track. The main difference between a muscle car and a super car is the aerodynamics and the gearing. you could have 2 cars with the same horsepower and torque, have low gearing in one, and high gearing in the other, the low gearing will get up to speed faster, the higher gearing will make a higher top speed. Both are exhilarating in their own right, but personally I would prefer the muscle car.

[@Trapper50cal]

There are Aston Martins that could be considered muscle cars. 2 doors, big, loud V8...1977 V8 Vantage, for instance.

[@SUPRAMIKE18]

There are quite a few non American cars that could be considered muscle cars, one of my favorites is the Alfa Romeo Montreal, V8 RWD and has that classic look of the era.

After I was discharged out of the Army in 1969 I saved enough money to put a down payment on a 1968 Plymouth GTX 440 3x2 carburetors' rated a 390 HP but that was understated for insurance purposes. . It was faster than 396 Chevelles and Camaros'. Only car faster was the Hemi's. I raced a few and was actually ahead of them for a while but once the Hemi wound up it would get me

People forget the Dodge Superbee's. My dad had one. It was absolutely bad ass.

[@isuapig6705]

2:03 there’s actually a difference between wings and spoilers

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

The biggest advantage in a front wheel drive car is the lower cost for the manufacturer, which of course can be passed on to the consumer. As far as handling a front wheel drive vehicle is just swapping oversteer for understeer. Oversteer (rear wheel drive vehicles) is easier to correct for since when it occurs you tend not to also lose steering as with a front wheel drive vehicle. On smaller, lighter cars front wheel drive can increase traction since that is a function of friction and weight. On small economy cars the weight of the engine above the wheels that are powered can be beneficial. That small advantage becomes less of a factor as the vehicle weight increases.

[@garycamara9955]

Not if you know how to drive.

[@RickZackExploreOffroad]

@@garycamara9955 Physics has nothing to do with skill level.

[@markfischer3626]

Check out the 2013 Dodge Viper 5th generation. I think the engine is either 600 or 645 horsepower 10 cylinder engine. With special tires and a spoiler that puts over a thousand pounds of d I wnward force the car grips the road and corners very well making it great on high speed turns. It's scary fast and the last Viper made, the best of the series. You can still get a mew 2024 Mustang with a 480 hp engine for about $50,000.

The Buick Grand National was actually quicker than the Corvette to 60 mph and in the quarter mile. The Corvette had a 4 mph higher top speed and the Buick only had a V6 231 cubic inch motor while the Corvette had a 350 cubic inch motor.

[@garycamara9955]

I had a MINI Cooper that was faster than a Corvette. A turbocharger on a 1275S can make more than 125 hp. Thats in a car that weighs less than 1300lbs. My Cooper S made 110 hp and weighed less than 1,000 lbs. Lots of fiberglass and aluminum body parts.

[@henrybialik8333]

5 million for a Cobra is for an original. You can get a registered New Cobra for about $90,000 to $150,000 depending on options. There are two companies in the US that can officially build Cobra's an that registered with Sheba Co. My neighbor got one, wow what a ride.

[@margaretwaters7961]

Kabir they showed the modern muscle car . They may be faster an cost a pretty penny . But cannot be confused or compared to original muscle cars dating 60s to 70s . Todays vehicle can be dented with one punch or a shopping cart running into it. Old cars are of heavy metal . I know I have a 71 Cutlass Conv. I barely tapped a sonata , the back of that vehical was a mess ,mine didn't even get a scratch. Its a tank . Also have chevy camaro 72 . Original down to the radio and interior. I enjoy them very much. Bought them at the age 28 ,Im 63 now . Still running strong today.

[@b_giggity2488]

Blade's car was a beautiful 1968 Dodge Charger. Love that car.

[@George-ux6zz]

They're all rear wheel drive. Although some of the newer models may be all wheel drive.

[@maingate7672]

The cars in all the ''Blade'' movies were Dodge Chargers. @ about 14:00, that's a Challenger, not a Charger, the Charger's a sedan, the Challenger's a coupe.

[@beesnestna9544]

In a nutshell Kabir, a "muscle car" (in America) is a car that not only talks the talk and walks the walk, but it makes sure it looks "killer" while doing it. Plain and simple.😉My personal favorite was the 1968-70 Plymouth GTX with a 440ci engine 6-pack carburetor, automatic 3-speed slapstick B&M racing transmission, add G60 tires in the rear w/deep-dish Crager mag wheels, chrome sidepipes and baby blue color with a black hardtop. My HS buddy had this very car. Second choice would've been the AMC/AMX. Yeah, I'm particular. They left out so many iconic cars: Chevy Corvetter, Chevelle SS, Camaro SS, AMC/Javelin, etc..

[@garycamara9955]

I like American Torque thrusts, and Ansen slots, cragars not so much. Halibrands are cool as well. I had a set on a car once.

[@beesnestna9544]

@@garycamara9955 Yeah, they're nice too, but I don't think they were available back in my highschool days 70s.😉

[@pgetty1949]

My favorite is and always will be the 1969 Dodge Charger. Mine had a 383 Hi Pro.

[@JWCustoms]

Kabir great video brother. If you are a fan of muscle cars I would also advise check out the newer cars too. This video seems to be a few years old. Ford, Chevy, and Dodge have all upgraded since this video. Also the Dodge Viper was awesome and didn’t get mentioned.

[@jaycooper2812]

My uncle once raced a 5 liter Mustang in his 1966 AC Cobra 427. The Mustang lost. My uncle turned a 10 second quarter mile IN REVERSE at 94 mph! He never did it again because he almost wrecked it because of his ego.

[@blakerh]

There are companies that make replica Cobras that only cost around 75-100k. And they are just as fun to drive. I have a 2019 Shelby GT350, and it is so much fun to drive.

[@garycamara9955]

Actually I built one once. They aren't as much fun as a real one though. I have driven those as well.

[@dianecomly6132]

There's video of a Hellcat outrunning a police helicopter. I've had 2 mustangs, but they were 2000s models. I had to get rid of them - too many tickets! The appeal is the throaty sound of the engine and the sheer power and speed.

[@garycamara9955]

My last Mustang was a 65. I only have old cars now.(30s)

[@Mr.Schitzengigglez]

It's not just a US thing. Australia had Holden. I wish Holdens weren't as hard to find here as an AR 15 is to find, over there.

[@maxr4448]

Kabir they were all rear wheel drive. The '69 Dodge Daytona top speed was 198 mph, street version. The '70 Superbird top speed was 202 mph, because of frontend tweaks.

[@toddricketts9498]

I'm looking at a 65 Mustang that needs total restoration but the price is right with the original 289 , going to try my best to make it happen

[@101harrycox]

Basically the AC Cobra was considered a Ford since it had a Ford 427 engine but was not sold by Ford, it was sold by Carrol Shelby out of California. You can tell if you have an original by the VIN number saying CSX for 'Carrol Shelby Experimental'. But since your a Brit you should know that the bodies were originally made in England and imported by Shelby. YES, it's a British car. Look it up.

[@jasonmarquis7586]

The top speed of the Dodge Daytona was over 200 mph... in 1969.

[@garycamara9955]

I met a guy in LaJolla that had a 427SC he was actually afraid to drive it.

[@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344]

One reason Muscle cars are fondly remembered is because they were relatively affordable.

[@mikeciboroski3849]

U forgot to add the redeye

[@williepressley2036]

That bandit Trans am is a 1977 not 1976..the cobras were actually ac cobra..they showed a car with newer Shelby cobra hood ornament

[@jaycooper2812]

I really goes to show how much the world DOESN'T know. The Shelby Cobras of the 1960s were created by Carroll Shelby stuffing a Ford V8 into a British AC Ace. It became the most well known car in the world with the 289 ci versions starting at over 1 million dollars. The 427 Cobras start at around 4.5 million dollars. My uncle owned 2 Cobras a 289 & a 427.

[@garycamara9955]

A freind owned a B prod SCCA Cobra competition car. Another freind owned a 289 Cobra street car.

[@garycamara9955]

I remember when you could get a Cobra for a couple thousand dollars. I was offered a GT 350 H for $1100 once.

[@mikeadams2677]

I have to correct the narrator on the NASCAR rules. In order for a manufacturer to enter their car in NASCAR they had to produce only 500 units in order to qualify entry, not over 1000 like he said. Yes, all American muscle cars are rear wheel drive.

[@binxbolling]

Mustangs are sold in the UK, but they're much more expensive than they are in the US.

[@George-ux6zz]

You can buy replicas of that Cobra a lot cheaper. However, it comes as a kit and you have to assemble it. It's cool as hell though.

[@grahamejohn6847]

You had the Vauxhall VXR8 in its many forms which was a muscle car. Dodge and Plymouth were both Chrysler brands so it was no coincidence that they resembled each other.

[@garycamara9955]

We never had a Vauxhall in this country.

[@grahamejohn6847]

My favorite car is a 1967 Pontiac GTO or Leman because my favorite DC character The Question drives it in justice league unlimited episode Double Date when he picked up Huntress, I don't know if it's a GTO or a Leman and it bothers me, does anyone know?

The Shelby was my dream car! ❤

[@user-ci8rq8mp6h]

Blade drove a Dodge Challenger which is also a beautiful car but in my opinion the 69 GTO Judge was the best looking muscle car ever

[@cmudd9788]

Blade drove a 68 Dodge Charger, not a Challenger.

[@cmudd9788]

The car from Blade was a 68 Dodge Charger.

[@Prime_Time21]

If you ever get a chance react to the 2017 Dodge Viper ACR or at least google it such a beautiful Super Car

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Many of these cars only got 12 mpg and mostly took Supreme or Hi-Octane fuel to perform at their best.

[@garycamara9955]

Mine got 18 to 20 mpg but that was the V8 cars. My Mini's got 35 to 40 mpg and would break 140 mph.

[@lukenovak2494]

Also kinda upset they didn't add the 69 or 70 Chevelle SS with the 454.

[@argumentative-alliteration]

A muscle car tends to be a HUGE engine US car, with all the power to the rear wheels. They drink gas like nothing else; which is the reason why they're just not a thing in the UK. Take a look at the average MPG on a muscle car. It's HELLA expensive to run. Muscle cars were kinda "of an era" too. Technology got faster and faster and faster by the end of the 60's, then as the 70's happened, safety came into the mix, so newer models of cars were a little slower. Remember that this era had no seatbelts. They're so much fun to drive in games like Gran Turismo and Forza. A bigger point, about the Fast & Furious movies. They have a general national rivalry. They have the US muscle cars, which are all physical, heavy, solid and fast in a straight line, and the Japanese cars, which are much lighter, CPU aided, with sensors EVERYWHERE, constantly giving you the optimal setup. These are vulnerable to EMS attack (an electromagnetic shock that overloads their car's CPU. This is the very peak of racing car technology, versus the old school brute force BEAST of a car. If you haven't already, check out a documentary on the Group B Rally from the early to mid 80's. It gave us the Audi Quattro, among others. It was a few years where the innovation of 4WD suddenly gave the cars MUCH more traction, making them FAR faster than spectators expected. Spectators standing ON THE TRACK, with a big ass rally car THUNDERING towards them. Watch it from the drivers perspective. It's insane. It's no wonder it didn't last long.
