When you saw the title you've probably wondered, what smoking Guy. Think for a moment, neither one of them is still there but the two are a great part of our culture. Who has not heard of the T-Rex (as he is better known) or a GTO? I think that by the end of this article, you will agree with me, at least a little, there are at least some similarities.

First let's take a look at how T-Rex evolved may have evolved. I guess the first dinosaurs were quite small, egg layers and most likely the plant eaters. Suppose that (you really need to use your imagination) there was a nest of newly hatched reptiles and, as is the more aggressive but I have more food and grew to be the greatest. Now suppose that the mother was not able to provide more food (for some reason) for babies. They would probably start to fight on tracks they have never been able to find the largest we could take a bite of one another. Find He or she loved, he would end up eating the rest of them. As then it would be big enough and bad enough to take on the world. Now suppose that this same scenario happened near but with one of the other sex. I think you can get the picture of how T-Rex evolved. Finally, external forces caused the T-Rex with all the other dinosaurs to disappear, exactly how is the center of many debates on the subject.

Now we come to the muscle car trend. Of course, we know how to muscle the car disappeared. He took the car Muscle almost 60-70 years to develop compared to the millions of T-Rex, although the life of our subjects compared to the overall length of life might be like. We know that the muscle car has been around for 9 years, approximately 12% of the lifetime of the car until the end of the muscle car. It is possible that the T-Rex was approximately the same percentage of time.

When the automobile became more than just an idea, it was inconceivable to anyone that he would eventually become the monster machine called the fire-breathing muscle cars. Consider how this happened. The first machines that have qualified as a car less than 20 horse power while the announcement of the muscle as the most powerful production 450 horsepower in the 454 1970 Chevrolet. Of course, today you will find modern cars with even more, but we are talking about the age of classic cars.

I would say that the race power actually began in 1955 probably because of the rivalry between Ford and Chevrolet, Oldsmobile had even a V8 General Back in 1949 clearly. In 1954, Ford came out with an overhead valve engine, followed by Chevrolet in 1955 and Mopar in 1956. Chevrolet has been greater than Ford and Mopar is even greater and went running to power. Even if the power was starting to rise at a dizzying pace, the engines are always put in the standard configuration of most of the car over the engine.

1959-1960 was when the compact car made an appearance (and the way the muscle cars with bigger engines) with the Big 3 all have. The American public has had a taste of power and now they are asked to return to some 6 cylinder engines. Needless to say it was a tough sell for the compact, but their day is coming.

Things were pretty static for the next few years with war horses walking along. Chevrolet had the 348 CI engine in 1958, then made the 409 in 1961. In 1962, he was the first production engine to hit a one horsepower per cubic inch. They had a 396 CI in 1965 and 427 in 1966. In 1970, they were up to 454 CI.

Ford engines were kind of delay until 1961 when they came out with the IC 390 and then a 406 CI engine in 1962. In 1963, they increased to 427 and 428 CI CI in 1966. Greatest.
