Muscle cars are a type of strong and powerful cars that offer very high
performance and fast acceleration. Not all cars that have powerful engines in
them are considered muscle cars; they must have a certain shape and be from a
certain period of time in history. Muscle cars are great loves of many a
person"s lives. They are about power and speed and freedom on the open
road. Muscle cars are part of the American culture of the past when gas
was cheap and pollution was non-existent. As far as gas guzzling goes, people do
have a right to drive whatever they want to and your foot print is often more a
factor of how many miles you drive and not how much gas your car uses. If
you limit your muscle car driving to a few miles a week then you can feel ok
about it from an environmental point of view, especially if you drive a hybrid
the rest of the time.
Muscle cars are about performance and looks as well. Many people enjoy
fixing up these old cars. They are not as safe as newer cars, so you need to
take that into consideration when buying one. Muscle cars are heavy, clean
lined, and simple and easy to work on. Muscle cars are often rebuilt from
parts cannibalized from other cars. These vintage cars are very hot in the
collector car market. Find out how easy and affordable it is to own a
