What do you think when you see a kid with a 14 year old muscle car?

[Bubbaleone]

Fixed.

[LiuKangBakinPie]

That he either watched Knight Rider or Transformers

 

[shortylickens]

I think I cannot trust the OP's story.

 

[mcurphy]

There is no such thing as a fourteen year old muscle car.

Therefore, I immediately look around for unicorns and flying pigs.

This. There were no (new) muscle cars 14 years ago.

 

[arcenite]

Fixed.

Good eye

 

[Triumph]

haha, 14 year old muscle car. that 215 horsepower 1998 Mustang GT would really rule the streets!

This.

If you are dyslexic and you really meant 41 years ago that would be more like it. Although by 1971 some of the emissions requirements were making the true muscle cars less awesome.

PUT IT IN H!!!!!

 

[vbuggy]

MUSCLE CAR

Is that a Hyundai?

 

[LiuKangBakinPie]

GM stopped production of the Camaro and Firebird in 2002. They brought back the GTO as a rebadged Holden Monaro though 2 years later.

Chevrolet Impala SS was available from 1994 to 1996, as a high-performance version of the Caprice equipped with a Corvette-derived 5.7 L V8LT1 engine and other specific performance features and body styling using the options found on the Caprice 9C1 police package

[marvdmartian]

None of the above. I think, "DADDY'S CAR!!!" 🙄

 

[Skitzer]

This is a Muscle Car!

 

[IronWing]

No hablo español

 

[WT]

Bet his Dad is sweating bullets until the son returns from gassing up Dad's car.

The Mustangs were really pretty worthless of that era.

You had to go with the Camaros if you wanted decent power.

 

[sdifox]

get off my lawn.

 

[preslove]

42.65% positive. A certain black rifle owning bbq enthusiast in America's dumbest state probably shouldn't show his kid the results of this pole :hmm:

Muscle Car Definition:

Muscle cars are factory high-performance cars manufactured from 1964 to 1974. The car manufacturers put large displacement V8 engines in mid-sized production models at a price that the average American could afford, and gave them new model names. The V8 engines used in muscle cars were factory modified to produce large amounts of horsepower and torque.

The muscle car produced intense competition between American automobile manufacturers to produce the most powerful and extreme machine. The 1973 OPEC oil embargo, the stricter EPA air pollution laws that were enacted, and the increase in insurance premiums, put an end to the muscle cars. Some of the models live on, to this day, in name only. Muscle cars are actively collected, restored, and supported by a very active community of car enthusiasts.

Had one of mopar's last performance machines a 1974 dart sport 318.

318 might not be performance but built up it could really go and mine had the craptastic 2 barrel carter bbd 2425 but tuned it at 20mpg which for a 318 was awesome.

How anybody could call something only capable of running 15 or 16 second quarter mile times muscle is beyond belief.

Mustangs are not Muscle cars.

Traction limited. Those old crappy skinnys would spin like nobody's business. Hell, even with modern tires (modern for 11ish years ago) my very mild 350hp Cutlass I had in high school couldn't hook.

Chevrolet Impala SS was available from 1994 to 1996, as a high-performance version of the Caprice equipped with a Corvette-derived 5.7 L V8LT1 engine and other specific performance features and body styling using the options found on the Caprice 9C1 police package

Under the old-school definition of muscle car, the 94-96 Impala SS definitely qualifies.

 

[LiuKangBakinPie]

Just slam a V8 in it and off you go Muscle Car.

 

[Patranus]

What car company made a muscle car 14 years ago?

Not all 90's Mustangs were bad. Maybe the ones people bought for the name or looks were.

My father in law has a 97 Cobra with all the after market HP increasing mods, that thing is pretty bad ass. Ween my wife used to drive it (when he needed her pickup) guys would constantly want to race her at every stop light, thinking their 10 year newer 'stangs could take it. They never came close.
