Some may consider the Ford Gran Torino to be a muscle car, although others scoff at such a notion. They won’t accept that any V8-powered, American car produced from 1972 until the 1990s should be called a muscled car. The ’90s was when horsepower levels finally began to revamp themselves after years of strangulation brought forth by government bureaucracy.

Since the initial muscle cars of the 1960s like the Pontiac GTO and Ford Mustang, enthusiasts have enjoyed wonderful creations from many American automakers. From the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Hemi to the 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra, there’s been an opportunity for exciting performance no matter the decade.
