Muscle car is a term used to refer to a variety of high performance automobiles. At its most widely accepted the term refers to American 2-door rear wheel drive mid-size cars of the late 1960s and early 1970s equipped with large, powerful V8s and sold at an affordable price for street use and drag racing, formally and informally.

As such, they are distinct from two-seat sports cars and expensive 2+2 GTs intended for high-speed touring and road racing.

Building on the American phenomenon and developing simultaneously in their own markets, muscle cars also emerged in their own fashions in Australia, South Africa, the UK and elsewhere.

A. This was done for The Fast And The Furious Tokyo Drift, they used an RB26DETT (twin-turbocharged 2.6L inline-6, Nissan Skyline GT-R) in a '67 Ford Mustang Fastback. Really the sort of engine you want to use though is the 2JZ-GTE, the twin-turbo 3.0L inline-6 found in, most popularly, the Toyota Supra Twin-Turbo. The stock internals can withstand anything from 600-800hp without the need of strengthening and they have many many parts available to them. 1100hp drag Supras are very common.

What's the best classic muscle car that I can buy?
Q. I've decided to buy a classic muscle car, something like the 1979 Chevrolet Camaro and have it fully restored. What would you suggest? A mean car, with an angry look, with a good acceleration. Something that will turn heads when I take it out.
