The Top 10 Fastest Muscle Cars Of All Time.

If there is one thing muscle cars in general, both old and new can top other breeds of car, is in straight-line speed.
It is their forte, their specialism, whatever you want to call it.

Other makes and models from the golden era of muscle cars were hitting the high 13 second times, such as the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am – 13.90 seconds at 102mph.
This is testament to this era of vehicle, where today top times from a stock car are not too dissimilar.
Not bad for cars 40+ years old……
