Are we witnessing a little American Muscle car returning to our streets? With the new Mustang GT,Camero SS, and Dodge challenger SRT we are taking a time machine back with the looks, styles and larger V-8 that still are trying to modernize and economize. It sure looks like it. The American muscle seems to be making a return. With faster standard horsepower and that sleek powerful American look, it seems to be a bright future for the Muscle car. The New 2010 Shelby Gt Ford Mustang thanks to its Roots-type Eaton supercharger bolted to its all-new, cast-aluminum engine block, the special 5.4-liter four-valve V8 delivers 550 horsepower and 510 lb.–ft. of torque at 6,200 rpm. Now thats a whole lot of pure power and thats just the standard car. The new Camero SS is even putting out 500 hundred horsepower standard right of the lot. These cars are incredible and all a person needs affordability, fast, sleek, powerful, and even not to terrible on fuel.

I personally love the muscle car look! For my next car i really want a dodge charger just for that reason! It's a big, bulky car that looks intimidating. Reading this blog made me realize that there still are muscle cars out there even though they do not look like the ones from years ago.
ReplyDeleteI certainly do think that muscle cars are making a return, and I can't say that I'm dissapointed. I love the way muscle cars look and drive, and hearing the V8 engines always puts a smile on my face. Sure, I'm a big supporter of electric, hydrogen and hybrid cars, and I'm sure that with the coming oil crisis (it's in my blog- current events)they are the answer to our energy demands and the wave of the future, but it is always good to see the return of classics, or at least cars that take inspiration from them, back in the streets to remind us a little bit of the American muscle car.
ReplyDeleteIndeed muscle cars are making a return, and with the help of secondary tuning shops such as Hennesy for Dodge SRT cars and for Chevy Camaro's these cars are really beginning to step it up. Not only are the upper level versions of these cars offering more horsepower but even the base Camaro is now putting down 304 Hp and the all-new for 2011 base Mustang is getting a new V-6 that will put down around 300 Hp up from 200 Hp. It is definitely an exciting time to be a muscle car fan.
