    More importantly, it gave us the muscle car wars. Big block behemoths boasted big power, and with big power comes big responsibility - to lay down fast times. Cars of this era quickly developed into speed machines that were not only top track performers but also street-racing starlets.

Yes, the 1969 Charger gets all of the attention because of that garish livery and…

Another thing we see is that is he buys a red 1970 Pontiac Firebird, which represents his long term desire for the…
