exterior design it came with a blacked out hood and grill along along with a bold Mac 1in decal on the side of the car inside the Mac 1 Cobra Jet boasted a luxurious and comfortable interior with bucket seats and a center console back in the early 1960s Oldsmobile was known as an Innovative company that was not afraid to introduce new systems in their cars in those days every GM division was competing to present something new and better so Oldsmobile chose turbocharging as the new technology they wanted to perfect the engineers took the compact f85 model and kept its small 215 cubic in displacement V8 engine that produced 185 horsepower but they also gave it a new forced induction intake system including a Garrett turbocharger and a special turbo rocket fuel tank the tank consisted of distilled water methanol and a corrosion inhibitor mixture that went into the fuel and air mixture to prevent detonation in those days turbochargers were primitive and prone to detonation or pre-ignition which could ruin the engine but the jet fire 58 included state-of-the-art technology so initially the market was interested the new V8 delivered 215 horsepower which was 1 horsepower per cubic inch this made it one of the best performance cars of the day with 0 to 6 60 MPH times of around 8 seconds it was almost as fast as the Corvette however the jet fire had problems from the beginning but most of the issues were owner related people praised the power delivery of the new Jetfire model however they weren't used to the operating procedures of the turbo engine so some owners forgot to fill the turbo rocket fuel tank with distilled water methanol and a corrosion inhibitor mixture this caused a loss of power and even failure of the engine in the long run soon the Jetfire had a bad reputation despite Praises from several Automotive magazines after 2 years and around 10,000 Oldsmobile killed the car and turbocharging technology today only a few fans remember the mighty 1962 and 1963 Olds mobiles one of the most successful collaborations between a major car company and a small aftermarket outfit was the deal between Hurst and Oldsmobile back in the late 1960s Hurst transformed the Oldsmobile 442 into one of the fastest cars available on the North American market and they equipped them with their famous shifter but the Finishing Touch was its signature gold and white or black and silver paint job at the time Oldsmobile was under GM's ban forbidding the company from putting engines larger than 400 cubic inch displacement in intermediate cars this meant that the popular 442 models couldn't receive the biggest available engines and due to that it was inferior to those Mopar Muscle Cars with engines of up to 440 cubic in displacement however since Hurst was an independent company GM rules didn't apply so Oldsmobile shipped partially disassembled 442 to Hurst where they installed the biggest engine Oldsmobile had the mighty 455 V8 with 390 horsepower the Hurst Olds package also got numerous other performance upgrades like the Ram air induction system they also added a heavyduty suspension and brakes since the Hurst Olds was a limited production factory hot rod it was quite expensive also the convertible wasn't available for 1968 to fight the tightening regulations destroying the muscle car class Oldsmobile introduced a bright yellow rally 350 model it was a clever way to avoid High insurance premiums with smaller yet still powerful 350 V8 engines producing 310 horsepower this model was basically a 442 muscle car but with a smaller engine and a lower price the most interesting feature was the yellow color along with the yellow bumpers spoiler and wheel inserts it looked like somebody dropped the olds Mobile cutless in a tank of bright yellow paint other manufacturers introduced similar models but this Oldsmobile is best known due to its unmistakable appearance however the rally 350 wasn't a big success on the market despite

Boss 302 428 Cobra Jet and 428 Super Cobra Jet remained available ever since the muscle car era ended in the early 1970s Oldsmobile has tried to recapture the magic of the original 442 muscle car so they presented numerous special editions in the late 70s and 80s most with trim packages but even those 442 badges on an economy hatchback couldn't revive the Glorious Spirit of those early performance olds mobiles however olds did produce some interesting models that performed well in their own right and one of those cars is 1991 cutless Cal 442 w41 behind that long name lies a compact front-wheel drive Cal twodo it came with a highly tuned 4-cylinder engine that developed 190 horsepower from 2.3 l today this doesn't sound all that powerful however they presented this car almost 30 years ago at a time when people considered 200 horsepower as big Power thanks to the low weight RAC tune suspension and gearbox the little cutless Cal 442 w41 could accelerate rapidly in fact it could beat much bigger more expensive cars Unfortunately they limited the production to only 204 examples for homologating the car for the Seca racing championships despite the great performance car fans soon forgot the w41 but it did influence other manufacturers to present similar compact yet highly powerful cars without this small and obscure Oldsmobile there wouldn't be the Chevrolet Cobalt SS or Dodge Neon SRT4 in 1968 Ford undertook a redesign of the Fairlane Torino which featured a Fastback design reminiscent of the Mustang this streamline shape was specifically engineered for NASCAR's super Speedways Ford offered the new design with a variety of engine options including the 289 302 and 390 however the automaker only produced 600 of these alluring hard tops with the 420 8 Cobra Jet and C6 automatic transmissions out of these 193 models were equipped with a rigid 3.91 rear axle ratio interestingly Ford opted for minimalist Aesthetics on these cars with minimal ornamentation besides the small 428 emblem adorning each front fender this design detail could easily go unnoticed on a dark street but it also allowed the 68 Cobra Jet Torino to transform into to a sleeper vehicle perfect for catching unsuspecting l35 chevels and Camaros offg guard by simply removing the badge the car could be made to blend in and stealthily approach its Target for 1966 the 442 got a mild refresh and 5 horsepower more this meant the 400 fe8 could produce 350 horsepower this rating placed the Oldsmobile among the most powerful Detroit muscle cars back then but the most interesting model was the w30 if you opted for that you got special Ram air induction with tubes going from the front bumper to the carburetors you also got a hotter Cam and a few other go fast options but being a little conservative Oldsmobile didn't put any wild Graphics or emblems on the car so although the w30 was significant ly faster than the regular model it looked the same the price of the w30 package wasn't high but people somehow overlooked this model for that reason they only made 54 of them this is a small percentage from over 20,000 Oldsmobile 442 built for the 1966 model [Music] year [Applause] [Music] in 1970 Ford introduced an updated Torino that was both aggressive and stylish giving competitors like the Chevy chevel and Plymouth Road Runners are run for their money on popular

in 1970 and the model remained available in 1971 with only minor trim updates despite the limited sales of the original w41 cutless in 1991 old's mobile knew the 2.3 l 4 cylinder had great potential since they discon continued the cutless Cala in 1992 and replaced it with the allnew aeva olds decided to introduce another w41 model their Engineers developed the concept of the compact front-wheel drive sports car further so for the 1992 and 1993 model years Oldsmobile offered the sexw 41 model it was the last wameed performance version they ever built they based the scx w41 on the previous model so it featured the same 190 horsepower 2.3 l engine that reved to 7,200 revolutions per minute they updated the design as well as the interior equipment too also there were some changes to the suspension and brakes but the biggest Improvement was the 5-speed manual gear box they developed especially for this model the scx w41 was the quickest car in its segment but regardless of its qualities it still flew flew under the radar of most enthusiasts so old only sold 1,600 of them looking ahead to the present day Ford has introduced a new muscle car to their lineup the Mustang Shelby

roof and hidden headlights also the power came from a big block 455 V8 producing 385 horsepower the Toronado was a success since it provided superb driving which left its competitors in the dust with 385 horsepower on tap and great handling those Oldsmobile Toronado were full-size muscle cars the first out of two generations was the best however future Toronado were just Cadillac El Dorados with a different Grill while the Ford Falcon XB GT gained notoriety from its appearance in Mad Max this is not the only reason why this Australian Legend appears on our list the Falcon's third generation has earned a performance reputation for many reasons including its eye-catching design which resembles a cross between a 1970 Torino Cobra and a 1973 Mustang Fastback though not radically different from

particularly popular among enthusiasts boasting a standard 351 Cleveland engine capable of producing 300 horsepower and 380 lb feet of torque due to the lack of emission standards that had already
