Top 100 Muscle Cars
Muscle cars refer to a variety of high performance automobiles. They are generally for drag racing competition with two-door rear wheel drive with a large, powerful V8 engine and special trim, intended for maximum torque and are classified as mid-size cars. While sport cars on the other hand are for road racing that are two-seat cars, or GTs, two-seat or 2+2 cars intended for high-speed touring and generally considered smaller.
