Bear with me, if I step back time to articulate what I believe are the three big American performance cars built: the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger. Currently the only Mustang production with challenger in 2009 back. GM is not required to build the Camaro just yet, but probably is a decision in favour of cars and his brother, Pontiac, Michigan Firebird by this summer. So what separates it American performance cars, you from the rest? In a word: Muscle. Continue reading if I compare and these three vehicles contrast and share with you, my feeble attempts to explain the culture behind the cars.

Forgot Corvette and Dodge Viper I think Chevy when talking about performance cars? No, I don't. Both are performance cars and racing cars. On the other hand, commodity Mustang, Challenger and Camaro performance cars with muscle. There is a difference between the way of a typical car handled tours, and leads vs. muscle car.

Usually a muscle car was a coupé version of some of the larger cars, ubiquitous on U.S. highways in 1960 and 1970s var Mustang and Camaro, but were designed separately [although both strong parts borrowed from other models] and this "pony" car was a category in itself. Occurs when a comparison of the Dodge Challenger, a version of Mopar cars of his time performance. All three were critically compared, time and all three back in a few years, when production was started, are compared.

Ford Mustang-step back in time with me April 1964 to an era when America was strong in the space race, was Lyndon Johnson, President and General Motors reigned Autodom. Ford, had for its part, as follows on the heels of this year, GM, but the failure of the Edsels in the late 1950s, the company duration. Nevertheless, it was the time of the New York World of fair and Ford used fairly and tv technology, their latest offering to promote Mustang. A 2 + 2 model sold the first Coupé borrowing part of the Falcon and Falcon, 1964 half and attributed to, while the best introduction of a new vehicle has ever been. Standard V6 engine and optional V8, all new Mustang sales records broke quickly and is a hot seller. Yes, in 2005 with the introduction of the "retro" even more interest in the segment muscle car as the DaimlerChrysler as well as the General search Mustang, the car engine craft competitive models of their own.

Dodge Challenger- – after the success of the previous muscle cars including the Dodge Charger and Plymouth ' Cuda, Dodge Challenger was launched as a model of 1970 in life. Car borrowed heavily from the "Cuda." Although the plate was something else and the wheelbase lengthened by inches As the muscle car era in decline at its introduction, Challenger participation fee lasted only five model years before you canceled. Challenger is based on the design and in the message boards and blogs in the entire nation currently on view at many car shows concept. Hemi powered search engines that are preferred by many car owners expected to share some technology wagon and charger sedan with the current Magnum.

Chevrolet Camaro - GM was asleep at the wheel, when the Mustang. It took almost three years before the company could respond, and if it did Camaro and Pontiac, Michigan Firebird was the result. Although both cars selling well over the years, nor any of the Mustang sale levels could match and was sold, reduced production at a time when of the last cars in 2002. But at the end of the Camaro after 35 years grows retro Mustang stirred up a renewed interest in the name and you that again the whole muscle car category. Looking Camaro as the first Camaro for a 2010 since 2002; a sunroof version also be considered for advertising.

Can just who are expected to buy a muscle car these days? People like me: middle aged men grew up with the original models. Also a whole new generation of younger drivers, tired of the "me to" appearance of many of the small car. Muscle cars are today so much different from the previous era cars if you the original at the same time to take, want to see technology today. Fuel savings without sacrificing performance will be clean: a real win-win situation.

No, I can wait a Mustang, Challenger and Camaro compiled at a traffic light to wait until the green light see. A new era of muscle car is us, and I am very excited.
