| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 04:42 AM PST Chrises Cars - Random snap: 1968 Charger RT Isn’t this the best way to treat this legendary muscle car. We bet “she” likes this a lot. Showing off its bad temper, bathe in smoke, make a few donuts and get some high rpm in the neighborhood. That’s ‘68 Charger RT.

| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 04:42 AM PST Chrises Cars - Mustang sits on 24s Ok, those are really big ones. Folks from truestreetcars.com forums say, those are 24×15 wheels in the back end. Fancy wheels and GT570R decals are followed by… none performance upgrades. That is really disappointing. This Mustang looks like a race-car toy, but we are still not sure whether it is not. How about you: love it or hate it?

| American Muscle Car Exclusivity Posted: 11 Dec 2012 04:42 AM PST Chrises Cars - American Muscle Car Exclusivity When you ask someone to name some things they associate with the good ol' USA, chances are the list will go a little something like this: baseball, apple pie and…a large-displacement engine crammed into a two-door car with smooth styling and great quarter-mile time. Okay, so that last one doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but most people often misunderstand the term "muscle car," so it helps to be specific. Muscle cars have long been a part of the American fabric. For good reason too, they recognize our innate desire to drive fast and look good while doing so. But what makes a muscle car a muscle car? How can you tell the difference between a high-performance car and a high-performance muscle car? American Made America is known for pushing limits and this can be seen through its world reputation for creating and manufacturing high-performance vehicles that give you a lump in your throat every time you punch the gas pedal. Depending upon the type and your planned use for an old muscle car, car insurance can be nominally more expensive. When you have the power of 400-500 horses under your hood, slightly more pricey car insurance is understandable. Since the 50s, American manufacturers continually sought to put as much power as they could fit in a two-door car. Make no mistake; compared to other automobile manufacturers around the world, this is a uniquely American aspiration. Yes, you can get high-horsepower cars from other countries, but in order for it to be considered a true muscle car it must be made in America. High Performance Engine Horsepower, torque and the earth-trembling low pitch rumble are the defining characteristics of a muscle car's high-performance engine. The precise numbers this definition translates to are up for debate. A muscle car's true power and speed is the net combination between the amount of horsepower and the output of torque. It's hard to pin down exact numbers for a muscle car engine, but generally vehicles with 350 horsepower (give or take 50 horsepower) and torque around 300 and above. Again, these numbers are a little fuzzy due to the fuzzy definition of a muscle car (check any online forum to see people disagreeing on what numbers constitute a "true" muscle car), but they are good general guidelines. Styling Stylistic differences between different muscle cars are vast, but they all have two doors (sorry four-door Dodge Charger, you don't count) and a sleek, fast look to them. Hood and door scoops, a slightly raised back end, and a big front end for the big engine are all hallmarks of a muscle car. You can't just throw on a nice pair of rims and a well-placed spoiler and consider a vehicle to look like a muscle car. The aesthetics of a well-designed muscle car are, to a certain degree, indescribable, but are one of those things that you know when you see it. The actual term "muscle car" wasn't used until after many of them had already hit the road. Consequently, the term is somewhat ambiguous. However, there are some benchmark characteristics that every muscle car has: it's American made, contains a high-performance engine and unique styling.

| Futuristic 2015 Camaro Concept Posted: 11 Dec 2012 04:42 AM PST Chrises Cars - Futuristic 2015 Camaro Concept Arkadiy Okhman is a student at the College for Creative Studies [Detroit] has envisioned his own next generation 2015 Camaro. He calls it Camaro SS/R, but it actually looks more like the 2050 model year. Arkadiy’s Camaro has a very muscular and modern appearance that doesn’t seem to have borrowed anything from original Camaros, but the public sees lots of potential in this concept and even call it a 2050 Camaro. So do we.

This particular pro-touring 1974 Javelin was listed in craigslist for $25K. The owner claims h owned it for 15 years and put only 150 miles after its recent modifications.

| Posted: 11 Dec 2012 04:42 AM PST Chrises Cars - Shelby Coupe Concept Sabino Leerentveld is a Dutch designer that recently involved himself into a Shelby Coupe Concept design. Even though he is more an industrialist, he sometimes enjoys experimenting with car concepts. You may obviously see some Mustang, Corvette, GT40 and Shelby Cobra features in his concept and, we’d say, the rear quarter fenders are a bit “overmuscled”, but all in all this Shelby Coupe concept is promising and brings it into more of a super car look.
