March 24, 2024,
It’s been a minute.
Actually it has been decades.
In the late 1960’s and during the decade of the 1970s, the muscle car was all the rage.
Especially among the young.
But like all styles and trends, over time, it faded from view. Not with a growl. But fairly quietly.
Muscle car is a description according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary that came to use in 1966 for "a group of American-made two-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving."
By some accounts, the "muscle car" term proper was originally applied to mid-1960s and early 1970s special editions of mass-production cars which were designed for drag racing, though it shortly entered the general vocabulary through car magazines and automobile marketing and became used generically for "performance"-oriented street cars.
A friend in our circle, when he was young, owned the Olds 1970 – 442, a different form of cutlass, and he states he was the most enjoyable car he ever drove. He was only a teenager and it was an incredible chick magnate.
If you are young, probably still is.

Dodge is igniting a new era of automotive muscle, announcing today the global debut of the world's first and only electric muscle car and the brand's first multi-energy muscle car: the all-new Dodge Charger.
The next-generation Dodge Charger electrifies a legend. The Charger will retain its title as the world's quickest and most powerful muscle car, led by the all-new, all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, which delivers 670 horsepower and is expected to reach 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and to run the quarter-mile in an estimated 11.5 seconds. Electrified models also include the 496-horsepower 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T.
The all-new Dodge Charger features standard all-wheel drive for all models and will offer performance choices via multi-energy powertrain options — the 550-horsepower Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O. powered by the 3.0L Twin Turbo Hurricane High Output engine and the 420-horsepower Dodge Charger SIXPACK S.O. fueled by the 3.0L Twin Turbo Hurricane Standard Output engine.
"The electrified 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack delivers Charger Hellcat Redeye levels of performance and announces its presence through the world's first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, while Hurricane engine-powered Dodge Charger SIXPACK models will give the Brotherhood of Muscle a gas option that produces better horsepower and torque numbers than the outgoing 5.7- and 6.4-liter HEMI engines," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. "The next generation of Dodge muscle has arrived."
Two-door coupe versions of the all-electric 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack and 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will begin production in mid-2024.
