The term muscle car was used in 1964 with the release of midsize Pontiac with a new important feature - a 389 cubic inch V8. This classic car muscle was capable of 0-60 mph in under 7 seconds, which was an incredible feat for a car right out of the showroom he 50 years ago.

The Muscle Car industry was triggered on the gradual increase popularity of stock car racing (NASCAR) races and drag racing.

The first car to be inspired by the need to create ever more powerful machines was made in 1948 with the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. This car is also the first engine at high compression overhead valve combined with a much lighter body and chassis design. In 1955, each automaker has been offering its own version of the V8 some other legendary to this day.

Two engines that do not have much changed since the initial design is the Chrysler Hemi, first manufactured in 1951 and the other is the small block Chevy, which began its construction in 1955.

Over the years seem carmakers entered the battle, not only on engine performance, but the size of cars. In Fifties cars were huge with the size to become a status symbol. This increase in size lead to engines becoming more powerful as employed to ensure that the acceleration does not decrease. As for today's market there are still people who want to go quickly leading to a flourishing industry performance aftermarket parts.

In 1962, Dodge and Plymouth began to drop their cars heavier, while Ford and Chevrolet began offering a midsize car like the Fairline. Weight reduction coupled with the engines led to animated Dodge Pontiac and very good results on the NASCAR circuit.

It would not be long before other automakers have been hot on the heels Pontiac with the introduction of the Chevelle by Chevrolet and Buick Skylark from.

As has been increased competition war between the competing companies. Each company has understood the importance of motorsports in the marketing of these vehicles. Ford investor including the expenditure in production of some serious competition in rallies, international endurance racing and NASCAR races throughout the country. A weapon in the arsenal Ford was the introduction of the Ford Lightning, which was built for speed with a light body and a powerful engine it was not for the timid.

In 1964, Ford also introduced the Ford Mustang came with a long line of options, but not originally sold as a muscle car. The car was extremely popular and sold over 681, 000 in the first year of sales. The Battle of automakers continued in the 1970s, with more a more powerful car being introduced.

As the popularity of increased muscle cars became more concerned the safety of these cars on the highway. The concern is particularly targeted at young buyers and efficiency of handling, brakes and tire adhesion.
