Depth. Whoever can get the best feeling of depth wins. One of my favorites, but also VERY VERY hard.

[Zar 696]

Ummmm that isnt a "muscle car" . . .

 

but w/e

[LoyaL 68]

Really? What is the definition of a muscle car?

 

Like anything else, the definition of muscle car can be argued [forever]. My definition of a muscle car is any factory car based on the concept of a daily driven family car, but with a big V8 designed to be the quickest and fastest in their class.

 

With that in mind, the original muscle car was the 1955 C300, which was followed in 1956 by the Plymouth Fury, Dodge D-500 and DeSoto Adventurer. Studebaker had the Golden Hawk in 1956 and AMC came out with the Rambler Rebel in 1958. The other manufacturers didn't really get into the musclecar business until 1960. They had some big engines, but no special models to stand out among the crowd.

Really? What is the definition of a muscle car?

 

 

Muscle car is a term used to refer to a variety of high performance automobiles. The term principally refers to American, Australian and to a lesser extent South African models from the late 1960s and early 1970s and generally describes a 2-door rear wheel drive mid-size car with a large, powerful V8 engine and special trim, intended for maximum torque on the street or in drag racing competition. It is distinguished from sports cars, which were customarily considered smaller, two-seat cars, or GTs, two-seat or 2+2 cars intended for high-speed touring and possibly road racing. High-performance full-size or compact cars are arguably excluded from this category, as are the breed of compact sports coupes inspired by the Ford Mustang. Other factors used in defining classic muscle cars are their age and country of origin. The term "muscle car" did not enter common usage until after production of the cars had essentially ended. It is generally accepted that popular, widespread usage of the term took hold by the early to mid-1980s. During their heyday, print media usually referred to this class of vehicle as "supercars".

 

I am sorry but that Cadillac is in the SUV (sport utility vehicle; look for the definition online if you don't know what that is.)/pickup truck class, not a muscle car. Man what is the world comming to when people don't know the difference between a SUV and a muscle car . . . :swoon:

 

GO VOTE!

Muscle Car is a term open to interpretation. Yes, I realized that car wasn't an actual muscle car, but i entered it anyways and can argue this point for weeks. It's american made, has a V8, and packs a lot of power.

 

But yes, i know what a muscle car is. I did a signature of a car because i saw:

 

I will change the theme if you want. Just name it.

 

So i figured doing any old car would be ok
