Plymouth Roadrunner (superbird)

The next car is not much to talk about. The Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird.

 This car has also played a major roll in the animation business. The Superbird has been featured as "The King" in the animated movie "Cars". The King was a baby blue Superbird who is known for winning many races.

Next is performance. The performance of the car is relatively the same. So we will now move on to one of the most important. The body and style.

The body and style are very unique. The most noticable and important is the huge wing on the back. And another is it being pointed at the headlights. Now it is time for my personal rating.

This car has also had a huge impact in both animation and the real world. And with its unique body style. So my personal rating is 9.75. 

Plymouth Roadrunner

The next car we will talk about has an impact on many things. It has impacted animated television. Its horn is what is famous. The Plymouth Superbird.

The Plymouth Superbird has impacted the famous kids cartoon "Looney Toons." The Roadrunner in the cartoon with the famous "meep meep" is from the sound that the horn makes.

Next is the performance of the car. The zero to sixty speed for the Roadrunner is 6.3 seconds. The quarter mile speed is 13.9. And a top speed of one hundred and fifty miles per hour.

Next is the body. In 1970 the roadrunner took a complete makeover. It got a new grille. And it also got a new body style along with the grille. Finally my personal rating.

The car had a major impact with it being created. The personal rating is .......................................... an 8.

Our second car is from a company known for his car. They were then old by GM to stop manufacturing cars. The company Pontiac  went out in 2010. There famous car is the Pontiac Firebird. And it was a great car.

One of the engines was the 326 cu in Pontiac V8 HO. The HO in the engine means High Output and gave it better performance.This engine features 280 horsepower . It also allowed for a duel exhaust and a four cylinder carburetor. The engine was last sold in 1967.

The top speed was 115 mph. and is 0-60 speed varied from 5 to 10 seconds. And the total weight of the car is an average 3,000 pounds. An transmission was a three speed. Now on the design.

The design was recognized as a Pontiacized Camero. Bu it still has its unique features. the two door was supposed to be a continuation of the Pontiac Banshee. It has what is called a "coke bottle design." This gave a sleek design t a car. And that is part of the Firebird legacy. 

In conclusion the Firebird has a better performance than the Mustang. So my personal rating is an 8.

1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1

 Today we will be talking about the first car in our line up. This car was made by Ford and came when muscle cars were getting to be popular. It is the 1973 Ford Mustang Boss. 

The car's engine was Ford's 351 V8 Cleveland engine. This was a engine part of the 335 engine family. The engine family was a small block V8 engine that was built by the Ford motor company. The were nicknames Cleveland after the factory that produced them in Cleveland, Ohio. The engine gave the vehicle 288 horse power.

The top speed for this mustang was 86 mph. Its 0-60 time was 9.9 seconds. Today, this cars speed really isn't that good compared to others. It's fuel economy was 17.1 miles per gallon. Now time to the model design.

The most noticeable feature is the NASA inspired hood.It had two hood scooped. The enlarged bumper was added to meet the requirements of safety. The rear bumper was added to something called impact absorbing extensions. This caused the bumper to stick out from the body.

In conclusion, the speed of the mustang is not very good, but the engine seemed to have a bit of power. With the various additions to the body gave it a unique body. My personal rating for the car is a .......  7.
