American Muscle: Chevrolet Chevelle SS - Cars News

At its prime, the Chevelle SS had 450 horsepower and could run the quarter mile in the low 12 second range. Then the gas crisis hit and the muscle car era was over. We've already covered pony cars in an earlier series, and the line between pony cars and muscle cars is not the clearest one.

Muscle cars were usually bigger and more expensive, and weren't quite so deliberately aimed at young people.
