Conceptualized to win an appeal to the younger market, Pontiac put a 6.3-liter V8 in the shell between the big storm, make a car fast, cheap.To the surprise of the marketing team was the Pontiac GTO is very popular and in 1969 it has a 6.5-liter V8 366bhp could throw.The judge was born.

1970 Buick GSX

Again, the idea was to break a beast of an engine in a body of medium size, in this case, the Buick Skylark. In 1967, Buick GS has been recognized as a model available in sedan and convertible.

Model 1970 has a 7.5 liter monster capable of producing 400bhp. GSX body came in yellow or white, adding to the picture that made the car a different standard.

1967 Chevrolet Camaro

There are several options available for those who buy a first generation Camaro, the Z28 package is the most exciting. With a 4.9 liter engine, power steering, disc brakes front and a four-speed manual gearbox, the Z28 made for racing – producing up to 400bhp.

The Plymouth Road Runner

Built to beat 14 seconds for a quarter mil, the Plymouth Road Runner stripped to its essentials, sacrificing even blankets to make it a beast of a machine. He had a strengthened steering, brakes and suspension and a 6.3-liter engine which pushed 335bhp. A pulse option 425bhp 7.0-liter version.

Dodge Challenger

A hit on the market in 1970, the Dodge Challenger a success from the start, selling more than 80,000 the first year. Although various options were made available, the R / T model that draws attention with its 7.0-liter Hemi engine running 425bhp. Later models have lost their way, with the ‘72 model down to a meager 240bhp. See the Challenger on the cult classic Vanishing Point.

1966 Ford Fairlane GT

Launched in 62 with a 3.6-liter V8, the Ford Fairlane redesigned in 1966 with a 6.4 liter engine capable of 335bhp. As if this was not the NOK, they decided to move to a 7.0 liter engine with 435bhp NASCAR. The front suspension and disc brakes gave the car hard for better management, and brute force of the disc goes back more than 60 mph (100 km / h) in six seconds.

Oldsmobile 442

The Cutlass model was equipped with a font specification engine capable of 310bhp. The 442 refers to the carburetor, four-cylinder, four-speed manual transmission and dual exhaust. The 442 had a reputation for management compared with other muscle cars, thanks to the improved springs, dampers and reassuring safety of a stabilizer bar.

The 1968 edition has been redesigned as a shapely coupe with a 7.5 liter block blasting 390 bhp.

Plymouth Barracuda

Although the Barracuda was launched in 1964, just weeks before the Ford Mustang, it was not until 1970 that Plymouth has achieved great popularity with sexy lines and some serious grunt under the hood as a 390 bhp 7.2-liter. The other option was a small 7.0-liter Hemi block with more than 425bhp eliminated the extra power!

Even with a renewed suspension power was so great that Cuda “earned a reputation for handling difficult.

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

1965 Chevelle SS had a block pushing 375bhp 6.5-liter, which was too much for the front of the car, which gives a pretty terrible management. Fortunately, this was treated with the renewal of the suspension and the addition of front disc brakes.

1969 saw the introduction of the specification more powerful engine, which was presented to Camio pick-up as well. SS in 1970 were powered by 7.4 liter V8 with 450bhp pulling Chevelle at 100 km / h in just six seconds. Later models were adjusted for unleaded petrol and efficacy have suffered greatly.

Dodge Charger

Bo Duke and the drive of choice, the magazine launched in 1966 and approximately 37 000 cars were sold in the first year. A 7.0-liter Hemi puts out about 500bhp expected, although it was officially described 425bhp. This monster reached 100km / h in just five seconds and a half. The Hemi engine option was available before 1972
