America is synonymous with the muscle car class and has been the birthplace of many iconic muscle cars since 1949, following the debut of the Oldsmobile Rocket 88. There is still a selection of muscle cars available in 2024, but only one is still produced in America: the Ford Mustang.

Only One Muscle Car Is Still Built In The USA

In the early 1990s, Porsche found itself at a crossroads. A brand revered for its legendary sports cars like the 911 and 959, the company was now teetering on the brink of financial collapse. The economic downturn of the late 1980s and early 1990s, coupled with internal mismanagement and an inability to adapt to changing market demands, left the brand in dire straits. Porsche was forced to reinvent itself and rethink its future strategies, ultimately saving the company from the same fate that befalls so many sports car manufacturers.

It used to be that an inline four-cylinder was just slightly more powerful than a lawnmower, but modern performance technology, as well as super and turbocharging, has made them formidable engines. In fact, there are some high-output I-4s that rival V-6s and even V-8s, both in horsepower and torque. Gone are the days when four-cylinders were only for sensible compacts, as they now power some of the hottest rides around.

Porsche: Simulated shifts on EVs make them worse

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

Chrysler built engines for a very long time. The automaker started its journey in 1924 and continued production of engines until Stellantis took over operations in 2021. In the near century of making engines, Chrysler had some of the coolest and most powerful engines in existence. In fact, Chrysler is often cited as the reason the Hemi-style engine became popular. Chrysler used the design during World War II and brought the Hemi back as early as the 1950s. It's a mainstay in several vehicles, including Dodge and other Stellantis vehicles.

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.
