They also created a carbon fiber body.

70 GTO

Pontiac 70 GTO


The GTO has a 455 big block in it that has 350 HP and can reach speeds of 119 MPH. In previous versions of the GTO Pontiac decided to hide the head lights for a slick clean look. When the 70 came around they decided to ditch that idea and make an american muscle car. The only problem with the GTO was the engine tend to over heat fast so Pontiac decided to install a thermometer that told the driver how hot the 455 was exactly. They decided to place this thermometer on the hood right in front of the driver seat.

 SVT Ford Raptor

     The Ford Raptor is a branch off of the all known F-150. The difference is performance price and toughness, you can get the Raptor in several different packages but the best performance is the 6.2 liter   V-8 engine with 411 HP and 405 Lbs of torque. Not only was it built for campers and towers. It was built for off road fun. With a state of the art suspension system its the smoothest ride on and off road, of course with four wheel drive you would be set for going through mud water and high grass. With all coming with an under body skid plate you can also go over rocks with out any worry. If you want to you could  buy one for $35,000 but then you would be stuck with the 5 liter V-6 instead go for the $40,000 V-8.

The Lamborghini Murcialago

The Lamborghini Murcielago

Built in 2001 the Lamborghini came up with one of there most expensive cars. Even more expensive than the Reventon. This car starts at $6 million dollars. But it wouldn't be a Lamborghini if it wasn't fast.With a 6.5 liter V-12 engine, and speeds of 209 M.P.H. In my life i have only seen one of these. Thought the world only 4000 were made. Now that might sound like allot but remember there is close to 3 trillion people in the world. To help cool this monster to air vents open up once the car is going 70 M.P.H. to flow air to the engine and breaks.

The Chrysler Four-Twelve

     This is the Chrysler Four-Twelve one of the cars that nobody knows about. I saw this car when i was looking at pictures for the Ferrari GTO. I had never even heard of this car before but it was beautiful. Normally i don't have to do that much research for the cars i post on here but this one was an exception. This car was put to make by Chrysler in 2003 and finally after numerous tests they came out with this. The Four-Twelve has an aluminum V-12 in its rear. The 6 liter V-12 is equip ted with four supper chargers and is one of the lightest engines in the automotive industry. With 850 HP going form 0-60 in 2.2 seconds. This vehicle has a top speed of 248 MPH easily beating Ferrari's and Lamborghini's. Surprisingly this vehicle is only $600,000 not that the average person has that much to spend. This vehicle quickly has become my favorite.

The Ferreri 599 GTO

The 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO
     This new version of the 2007 GTO is leading the way in the Ferrari family. This vehicle has a 6 liter V12 with 650 HP and 8250 RPM. Ferrari claims that it is one of the fasts road cars yet. It dose look fast but then again not as fast as a Lamborghini. As I have learned more about this car and Ferrari I am starting to doubt the Legendary Murcialago. With this hunk of steel it can go 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and it can reach speeds of up to 208 MPH. This vehicle is a luxury car at its best.


This is a link to a video showing the Ferrari 599 gto on a closed track

Lamborghini Reventon

When Lamborghini decided to make yet another one of there expensive multi millon dollar cars they dicided to go with sutulty this time. Well you can see how that worked out for them. The Lamborghini Reventon is anything but suddel. This V12 can reach speeds of 212 M.P.H. and it is sill street leagal. Only 20 cars were sold to the public. This vehicle had a starting price of 1.5million dollars. Most Reventons were auctioned off going for 5 million. Another thing about the Revento is once your inside it you feel like your flying a modern jet fighter. The Revento raced a Tornado jet, it was ahead almost all of the race until the end of the runway when the jet finally cought up. The hud is another thing, it truly dose look like a jet.

1970 Dodge Challenger

The 1970 Dodge is one of americas most known early muscle cars. This car was offered with a V6 for $20,000 or a V8 for $30,000. Most people you can guess went with the V6 becuse of prices but even with a V6 engine this beast could reach speeds of 130 M.P.H. This in my opinion is my new favorite car after learning alot about it you can easily tell that this car would trample the Chevelle. The people that did have the money would buy the V8 R/T supercharged Hemi. Now days this wonderfull car sells for $50 to $60,000 depending on the condition. Some people have converted the Challenger to a drag racing car with a V12 and 600 HP, thats of course if you have $100,000 to waste. Dodge has just recently come out with a new version of the Challenger the V6 2012. This is the new Challenger alot more modern but still has the same bulky American muscle to it.
