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. While no one will ever agree to which car deserves the overall crown, here are the five that we think deserve more praise than the rest. Here we go! 5) 1964 Pontiac Tempest GTO - 348 horsepower - $4,500 Starting off our list, and we are sure this will be up for debate, is the Pontiac GTO. It is a car that deserves recognition as being the original muscle car. Here is why with the Tempest already out the GTO was the first in that year to truly start releasing modification options and the bigger engine options from the factory - then came the Mustang later that year.

estranged from each other. But throughout American Beauty, we see red roses or the color red, and in those moments its when the character needs love the most. For example, the front yard is decorated with red roses, and in a sense those red roses are a cage created by Carolyn Burnham, and as the movie progresses we get to see how Lester tries to break free from carolyns control.
