What to Look For in a Muscle Car Restoration Business (#)

„It doesn’t matter if you buy an old muscle car and restore it, or if you buy a brand new shiny one and have it customized your way, you’ll be driving an American car, and helping America while helping yourself to a lot of fun and good times, you’ll be enjoying yourself, while being a true American and buying American built cars, and you’ll be bitten by the bug, and understand completely what this article is all about, this article is about fun, it’s about being an A...“

Ford FPV GT-P - RSportsCars.com (#)

„The new twin exhaust system not only lifts the aesthetic presence of the iconic V8-powered models, but also generates a traditional muscle car-inspired exhaust note. The system has four-into-one extractors from each bank of cylinders joining into a twin 2 Ľ-inch exhaust with an intermediate silencer box. The exhaust gases pass through new tri-flow silencers before exiting via the six-inch twin-outlets that feature a trapezoidal design reminiscent of iconic muscle cars of the 1970s.“

Chevrolet Camaro by Reggie jackson - RSportsCars.com (#)

„With a potent, 641-horsepower, a new LSX-based 454-cubic-inch small-block V-8 and the classic looks of the 1969 Camaro, legendary baseball player and ardent car collector Reggie Jackson has a muscle car as strong as his World Series batting record. Jackson partnered with GM Performance Parts (GMPP) and the GM Performance Division (GMPD) to build a one-of-a-kind modern muscle machine that serves as a developmental showcase for GM’s new LSX family of performance engine components.“

GM officially dumps the Pontiac GTO - Autoblog (#)

„10. GM forgot that the original GTO was a stripped down family car with a huge engine that let muscle car buyers do whatever they wanted to do to it for the best possible price. The pricing of the new GTO alone ruined the GTO heritage they tried to bring back. If it were $25K or less, it would have been an amazing car, but GM lately has been unable to stay away from the $35,000-$40,000 price point on their most desirable vehicles, putting them out of reach for a majority of buyers.“

Bring Back The Bandit - Popular Mechanics (#)

„The sooner we see 2007/2008 model Bandit Trans Am's with glossy black paint and gorgous gold pinstripes and phoniex on the hood, the better. Seeing the new Mustang's gives me goose bumps, (or hives), but it does bring back that 70's muscle car feeling! It could only make GM and Pontiac, a ton of money, and it would make a lot of father-son relationships come to life! Thanks for bringing this to the public, and if your out there, email Pontiac that you would buy a Bandit in a heart beat!“

Dodge Challenger Concept - Photo Gallery - Autoblog (#)

„Uhh, well i'm not old (only 20) and i think that car looks badass. Just cause you lived through the muscle car era doesn't mean it's useless to bring it back for those who didn't. It's meant to compete with the Mustang... and last time I checked, the majority of people driving Mustangs weren't old grouchy people like you.(2Suave) I for one can't wait to see the new Camaro and all the rest of the retro/muscle designs.“

Ferrari Hamann 599 GTB Fiorano - RSportsCars.com (#)

„The latter generates downforce on the rear axle and stabilizes the Ferrari at high speeds. Since the 599 GTB is conceptually a race car for the road, Hamann decided to equip the rear end of this Italian muscle car with a three-piece diffuser that matches the rest of the technology. In conjunction with the rear wing, and true to the principle of “a beautiful rear can also endear”, the Hamann aerodynamics tuning suite shows its best side ...“

GM Futurliner rewrites Barrett-Jackson record books, hammers to $4.1 million - Autoblog (#)

If I was there with lots of money burning a hole in my pocket, I would have scored a fleet of cool cars that all together wouldn't have cost more than one quality muscle car. Doubly so for the speculators, we're probably at or near the ceiling of the muscle car values, time to get in at the bottom on the up and comers.“

2009 Dodge Challenger Is A Go! - Popular Mechanics (#)

„Whoever said it looked like a '69 obviously does not know that the Dodge Challenger wasn't made until 1970. Nevertheless, that is the hottest thing that came from Detroit since the muscle car era ended in the early 1970s...please build it, I am so sick of Mustangs being the only pony cars now. Dodge needs to come out with one of these with the 6.1 Hemi so we can go mop up those lousy Fords. Final word: Love it and please build it.“

Infiniti makes nice products so why don't they truly challenge BMW and Lexus? - AutoSpies Auto News (#)

„Something all of the top contenders have is a consistent philosophy applied to all of their cars, decade after decade (Or at least year after year for Lexus). Infiniti™s last M45 was a strange collage of classic American muscle car and modern luxury¦ successfully alienating everyone from the brand. That was a substantial branding blunder that Infiniti is still recovering from.“

New PONTIAC Reviews - Car and Driver (#)

„But then with 400 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, plus suspension and braking to match, it’s not clear that anything new was needed. The GTO is Pontiac’s resurrection of its fabled ’60s muscle car, and it keeps the faith: big power in a brawny rear-drive coupe. When it made its 2004 debut, the GTO came powered by GM’s LS1 V-8, rated for 350 hp. The 400-hp LS2 version came along for ’05.“
