>Says a Mustang isn’t a muscle car, it’s a pony car. >Also uses the Mustang Foxbody to justify counting hatchbacks and liftbacks as muscle cars. Me thinks Nolan is confused. Also, if you want to justify crossovers as muscle cars, I think using wagons would be better evidence, as crossovers are just modern station wagons.
im basing my research paper on this, so dont let me down
7:11 My nigga a blood 😎 he be 🅱️ruisin down the street
the best car types
I’m 9 this show really Is something much bigger than a video of a guy talking about aa dumb merc no it’s so much bigger
M4? 2012 C63 Coupe/Not Coupe? 2018 C63s Coupe? Lexus LC 500?
you forgot one key aspect: it has to be american
What’s the difference between a fastback and a hatchback
*Lesson of the video: A car doesn’t necessarily have to be American to be a muscle car.*
Nice voice crack Nolin
I just know I believe that any European sports car like a bmw or Mercedes are just muscle cars with advanced technology. Like bmw = mustang being two door sports cars and Mercedes= Chrysler cars like Dodge Charger or so on.
Is the modern Dodge Charger a muscle car
Can a bicycle be a muscle car?
Is the Shelby Cobra a muscle car?
Wait a minute Nolan you said “mk2 Supra” but it’s a mk3 Supra uh did you guys mess up here 😂
The GM triplets (Yukon, Escalade and Suburban) are probably some of the best "muscle cars" you can get for under $10k. The massive steel block V8s are pretty good out of the box but they're also good for lots of boost.
what about the dodge magnum? :o
ive never agreed more but also wanted to slap you so bad Nolan
What about the Infiniti q70?
Next question: can a muscle car be a crossover?
U talk lot and say nothing
I made a graph :D
Amg gt is a German muscle car
Any V8 AMG
Short awnser:no it should not
Put the coke bottle on its side cut it in half then you’ll see.
If you think about it the merce w126 sec 560 is a muscle car
Is my Cadillac CTSV a muscle car
I think crossovers can be a muscle car. For example the Audi RSQ3 Sportback can be considered a muscle car right. Strong 5 cylinder engine, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, more than two seats and I think its quick
What about the Infiniti Q50 redsport.
In Australia, our definition of a muscle car is anything that can do a sweet burnout while sounding good af.
Lexus ISF/RCF is what i would consider a Japanese muscle car.
Would that make the kia stinger a muscle car?
Shoot put out this comment before I saw it was on the list lol
Lexus sc 400
rs7 sportback is a muscle car
I contend AWD cars CAN be muscle cars!
why not?
You know there was a FX45 right?
The GLE 63 amg is not a crossover.. why is it in your thumbnail?
crossovers are disgusting. Everytime I see one from audi, mercedes or BMW I actually feel offended. Such an appalling design only topped by the people driving them.
Would the Holden commodore ute be a muscle car?
Muscle car does burnouts. Period,
The Holden Torana, one of our greatest muscle cars over here in Australia, was a hatchback
I don't think you should discount 4wd/awd vehicles. Many people are finding them preferable for practical reasons, it is quickly becoming the norm in the suv/crossover segment (just like rwd was in the muscle car era) and many sports cars are going that way too. Porsche 911 and Panamera, for example. I also think it's less of a leap to say that a muscle car can be awd than it is to say a wagon can be a muscle car.
1 more Important factor At least it has a trim with a manual trans (fun lever or stick)
7:36 thats not a 1969, SS454 wasn't even an option until '70
They can if they sound like one.
Unpopular opinion: fastbacks are a wasted opportunity for a hatchback.
You forgot about the trailblazer ss from the 2000's or the F150 tremmor with the 3.5L ecoboost from 2012ish or srt10 ram 1500
Lexus IS F?
Nolan makes some valid points. I've viewed the C63 amg coupe the definition of a German muscle car. Do they still make those? The are too many Mercedes options, and they all get the 4 door treatment which kinda sucks
Buick grand National GNX. It had the replacement for displacement, McLaren tuned it and it was the 2nd fastest production car in the world
I think my favourite weird "muscle car" would be the rover sd1 but iirc it's not fast at all
He's gonna defend the Mustang Mach-E isn't he...?
If it's not an 8 cylinder it's not a muscle car
Did u consider Tesla's, they sure have the specs that scream modern muscle car.
Basically any srt in my opinion is a muscle car ex. Like the magnum srt8 or Chrysler srt8
We're pushing the definition here. Muscle cars = strong fast cars, with big noisy engines ideally with long hoods and flared body parts (muscles). They are also derivatives of existing regular cars. Question: Does an ecoboost mustang hit you as a muscle car?
Is the stelvio awd?
Any rwd AMG c/e/s class is a muscle car
Erm.... Jaguar, Aston Martin, Bentley... Hello?
I guess to be fair a "muscle car" in California is different than a "muscle car" in the Northeast U.S
what about a corvette stingray c3???
Favorite oddball is dodge magnum
Coke bottle: lay a coke bottle on its side and you have 2 curved lines, like half an hour glass. Compare this to the side of the car. That is the curve over the rear end of the car that dips in the middle and a longer, lower curve from the middle to the headlights.
Coke bottle cars look like a half of a coke bottle on its side...
I think the bmw 335i could be considered in there as well
c63, giulia Quadrifoglio, m3 (e92 expecially)
really disappointed that not a single Australian car was mentioned
But doesn't the Kia Stinger GT have coke bottle styling?
LEXUS ISF
Answer: No.
We just gonna forget about body on frame, no unibodies
Cars Rock !
I’m sitting here wondering why he didn’t mention the German sedans that have V8’S IN THEM !!!!
I think the term "muscle" can apply to any vehicle that has way more power than the vehicle reasonably needs .
Muscle cars are sedans or coupés, so no.
I think that when you define a muscle car you have to include its country of origin, for example, the amg c63 s is a GERMAN muscle car, a German muscle car can have all wheel drive because, the mk4 Toyota Supra is a JAPANESE muscle car, it has a 3.0L in-line 6, the demon is an AMERICAN muscle car, it’s got an 840 hp supercharged hemi v8 and street legal drag radials, so what I’m saying is a muscle car has to be beasts on its country of origin, and the only thing that a muscle car needs to based on the standards set by its country of origin, for Germany all wheel drive cars are the basis for most of their performance cars so that’s ok, in japan for their sports cars a 3L in line six was a big engine for the time in Japan. When it comes down to it muscles cars should be based on the standards set by its country of origin.
I'd always thought that the Coke bottle styling meant that the wheel flares we wider than the doors. I've been wrong before.
that thumbnail is not even close to click bait. That is a #LargeMidSizeSuv
A true muscle car should have a v8
A pony car is a muscle car. A muscle car is not always a pony car.
Maserati Quattroporte GTS, rwd sedan with v8 from Maranello
So many australian cars make your rules. Not to mention the GT ho was the fastest sedan in the world in the early 60's when came out. Do some real research ffs
Jaguar xjr575, heavy rwd sedan with v8
I'm sorry, did Nolan just say the Viper is not a muscle car? =))
ford is paying this man to prove to us that they can turn the mustang into a crossover/suv and still be a muscle car
isn't there a dodge durango SRT?
Short answer: no
my dad had an SRT jeep for a while and it got such bad gas mileage he sold it XD
"If my grandmother had wheels would she be a wagon?"
Can we talk about why there was a forerunner in quad 4?
E63 AMG station wagon, the perfect muscle car
Epic
I think it’s called coke bottle because you stand it up it looks similar to a coke bottle
What about the Jeep Trackhawk?
Aston Martin?
Question...Dodge charger r/t is at the center... But what if you have a AWD r/t, is it then not a muscle car?
E39 M5..... 400bhp v8 rwd 4 door car. Probably the best to be honest! In its day it won best saloon 13 years running. It will remain my favourite and good examples have increased in value. Shame the US didnt see a manual transmission until the e60 though 😥
You want a muscle crossober??!!! Cheq out TATA Harrier!!
But the charger comes in awd....
