Despite the fact that many drivers worldwide are trying hard to “Go Green” with fuel efficient and smaller cars, there still remains a certain nostalgia and enthusiasm for the gas guzzling Muscle Cars in Canada, the U.S., Australia, South Africa, and the U.K.

What exactly is a muscle car?

Many car enthusiasts can answer that question right off the bat, but for the uninitiated, here’s a definition, straight from Wikipedia:

“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.”

Now that you know the basics, you might want to learn more about the classic Muscle Cars, as well as today’s new muscle cars. There are many online sites for organizations in Canada and the U.S. that can put some real muscle in your Muscle Car education.

The first stop on your educational tour might be The Muscle Car Society’s site. This grassroots online magazine invites enthusiasts of Muscle Cars to share stories and photos about their muscle cars, classic car clubs, and auto events.
