Over 50 years ago the concepts of high torque and high horsepower engines thrown into vehicles was a fun pastime for many racing enthusiasts. It was an era where many people had just transitioned their lives from a World War II era lifestyle of being constantly on rationing and having their minds focused on certain duties from coast to coast. Families would get together and enjoy the opportunity of turning an old model T into a hot rod.
The 60s would come to the picture and bring vehicles that were surpassing 400 hp motors. A new type of vehicle was born in these days. The muscle car with eight cylinder engines and four barrel carburetors that were injecting extremely high amounts of fuel into motors were becoming a craze across the country.
Hot rods have now become muscle cars with the capability of meeting in anonymous areas like dirt tracks and oval tracks that were open to the public to race. Companies from the United States would enjoy a period of creating vehicles straight out of assembly lines with unmatched high-performance engines. Many of these vehicles still have a great value such as the Ford Mustang GT, the Dodge Charger, and the Corvette.
Now a new age of American muscle car has been revived. Vehicles like the Ford Mustang and Dodge concept cars are now back to where they started with 400+ horsepower engines. The Corvette is now being produced with over 550 hp. Even European companies are enjoying the opportunity to market high horsepower engines in this new era. Brian Elgey is truly enjoying every moment of the new muscle car era. He currently purchased a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
