Why the 1970s Japanese "Superbike War" Changed Everything

Описание: In the mid-1960s, a horsepower fever took over America, turning quiet suburban streets into drag strips. This was the era of the Muscle Car—a time when Detroit’s "Big Three" stopped playing it safe and started stuffing massive, high-compression V8 engines into mid-sized family coupes. It was a decade of chrome, burnt rubber, and unapologetic power.
This video takes you back to the golden age of American automotive excess. We trace the spark of the revolution started by the 1964 Pontiac GTO, the cultural explosion of the Ford Mustang, and the raw, aggressive dominance of the Dodge Charger and Plymouth Hemi Cuda. This wasn't just about getting from A to B; it was about who could reach the end of the quarter-mile first.
Explore the engineering arms race that pushed engine displacement to its absolute limit before the oil crisis and safety regulations brought the curtain down on the greatest era in car history.
