Nowadays there are many different muscle cars on the market, from various manufacturers. In this article we’ll go over a few of the more common models, and give a comparative overview of their specs, for quick reference and comparison.
The Ford Mustang
One of the oldest and best known sporty / fast cars on the road, the Ford Mustang is still a major player. The 2006 Mustang features a 4.0L V6 engine with 210 horsepower. If you go for the Mustang GT, you’ll get a 4.6L V8 engine with 500 horsepower.
Price is not a huge obstacle with the Mustang MSRP is in the 19K to 32K range.
Fuel consumption is not too bad, with the mustang getting 19/28 and the GT getting 17/25 with manual transmission. Auto transmission gives you 19/25 on the Mustang, and 18/23 on the Mustang GT.
The Chevrolet Corvette
The famed Corvette is another old car that’s still very popular. The 2006 model Corvette Coupe boats a 6.0L V8 that tops out at 400 horsepower. It does have a price tag to go along with it, though, at a starting price of $44,490. But then, maybe that’s why Corvettes are a status symbol.
