New Route Too Rails Magazine Thinks That The Exclusively Musclecar Made Today Is A Honda Accord.
RT says:
When nosotros visit the truthful high-volume household unit of measurement cars out at that spot as well as their overpowered variants, nosotros come upwards up amongst a pretty brusk list. There's the Accord V6, the Camry V6, the Altima V6, as well as the Ford Fusion Sport. Everybody else uses a small-bore turbocharged four-cylinder engine for their upmarket models.
Imagine, for a moment, that yous are dorsum inwards the twelvemonth 1964, driving to your local Pontiac dealer to social club a GTO. On the agency there, yous run inwards a auto crash as well as yous pass the adjacent fifty-three years inwards a coma, solely to wake upwards as well as become musculus auto shopping again. You know precisely what yous want: a two-door sedan amongst a four-on-the-floor as well as the biggest engine yous tin get. That is a musculus car.
As painful every bit it may locomote to produce so, therefore, I'm going to disqualify the Fusion Sport because it has iv doors, all-wheel-drive, as well as a mandatory automatic transmission. Conceptually, the fast Ford is far closer to "budget Audi S4" than "modern Torino Cobra Jet."
That leaves us amongst 3 American-made contenders. Two of them are solely available every bit four-door automatics, which of course of report is besides antithetical to the master copy GTO formula of ii doors as well as four-on-the-floor transmission.
And that is how nosotros instruct to the rather insane persuasion that the terminal American musculus auto is, inwards fact, a Honda Accord.
Dyno testing of a brand-new unit of measurement suggests that its rated output of 270hp is conservative past times xxx ponies or so. It's mutual for owners to interruption into the thirteens inwards the quarter-mile as well as trap good over 100mph, numbers that would convey been perfectly respectable inwards the musculus auto heyday of the belatedly Sixties.
It volition "chirp third" amongst reckless abandon; that was ane time considered to locomote the sign of an authentic musculus car. Much of the interior is disturbingly inexpensive as well as fragile; I believe the same affair was truthful of every Plymouth Road Runner that always left the line.

That's why I don't read Road as well as Track journal folks. The author of this idiotic persuasion is, of course, a Honda Accord owner
