American Muscle: Pontiac GTO - Automobile News

Without question, the Pontiac GTO's legacy of being the definitive muscle car will carry on for years despite the brand's demise in 2010. The Pontiac GTO is the most important of all muscle cars. Which one is best would be a matter of taste, but the GTO was the moment of genesis for the muscle car era, and truthfully it was quite an excellent example of the breed in its own right. The Ford Mustang would come out later that year, launching the pony car niche, and thus began one of the most exciting eras in the history of American cars. The idea of putting a big engine into a cheap midsize car in order to make speed available to the masses might seem like one which required little thought.
