Muscle cars are loud, proud, and in your face, with no other pretensions than to be just that. They may be simple, even crude, but for roaring, pumping, tiresmoking standing starts, they are the business.Muscle cars are a quintessentially North American phenomenon, owing their outrageous existence to a very simple formula. Take a midsized American sedan, nothing too complicated, upmarket, or fancy, then add the biggest, raunchiest V8 that it is possible to squeeze under the hood, and there it is!Pontiac was first, with the legendary GTO, then Ford invented a new class of car with the the pony car, the Mustang, then every other American manufacturer got in on the act, producing the legendary Hemi, Camaro, Firebird and TransAm, among many others. This book covers them all, as well as all the excitement of TransAm/NASCAR racing. Muscle cars are loud, proud and in your face, with no other pretensions than to be just that. They may be simple, even crude, but for roaring, pumping, tiresmoking standing starts, they are the business. To the youth culture of America, raised on drag racing, redlight street racing and hotrodding, they are irresistible. The late 1960s was the heyday of the muscle car, before soaring accident rates and insurance premiums, tougher safety and emissions legislation, and finally an oil crisis, made excessive horsepower seem irresponsible. For a while, muscle cars faded from the scene, but in the 1980s they were beginning to creep back into favor, building to a fullblooded revival in the 1990s. They may be a little more efficient today, certainly more hightech, but muscle cars are definitely back with a vengeance!
