Awesome Mama Cars

Here are a some cars that may look like what your mom would drive, but could hang with the best of them on the track. Let us know what you think about them.

Oldsmobile F-85

The F-85 was the first turbocharged V8 in a production vehicle, beating the GTO to market in 1962. Because the engine's compression ratio was 10:1, drivers had to use a mixture of water and alcohol to keep it from igniting. How muscle is that?

Chrysler 300 Hurst

The 300-hp Hemi V8 in the Chrysler 300 debuted in 1955, making it arguably the first muscle car. Although discontinued in 1965, it made a brief comeback in 1970 with the Hurst Edition. Combining luxury and performance, the Hurst was very special.

1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

Ford's attempt to bring muscle car performance to a 4-cylinder engine, the Thunderbird Turbo Coupe lived up to expectations. It won Motor Trends Car of the Year in 1987 with a turbo-charged 190-hp 2.3-liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission.

2005-08 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP

The predecessor to the G8, the Grand Prix GXP was a V8 sedan that followed Pontiac's traditional formula. Stock your standard, boring sedan with a powerful engine, call it by a different name, and you have a muscle car. At 303-hp, the 5.3-liter small-block V8 would hit 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. Not bad for a front-wheel drive.
