When it comes to horsepower, there are few substitutes for what American cars have to offer. Due to American cars not being taxed on their engine size, manufacturers can get away with making some pretty big engines. The result is countless vehicles that have become especially well-known for the power and torque that they possess. Powerful classic cars can be found out in the wild, each of which brought something unique to the table in terms of design and performance.
With so many vehicles hailing from the classic era, we've taken the liberty of seeking out the most powerful American cars and exploring not only where this power came from, but also what made the vehicle such a catch back in the day. So, join us as we delve into a range of classic American cars so powerful that not a single one of them offers any less than 400 horsepower.

All these horsepower numbers are fake....based on the outlawed GROSS system that was banned after 1971. Gross is a dyno number with muffler, air filter, and belts missing. But put those items back on and you get the NET horsepower which is 18-20% LESS. After 1971 ALL cars have to be rated NET. The 426 was advertised at 425 hp, but is only 350. The 464 was listed at 450 hp but is only 365. NONE of the cars from that time ever put out more than 370 hp. The 2024 Dodge 5.7 beats them all at 375 hp NET.

@chadhaire1711 Actually, the numbers weren't fake. They just were made without a bunch of accessories sucking power from the engine. The net number was as it was installed in a car. If you were to check a channel called Nick's Garage, he tested a bone stock 69 426 Hemi and got well over the factory rating from it. I found it interesting that they plated with the numbers to make it easier to insure.

You have almost all the facts about the ZL-1 Camaro wrong. And you were clearly showing Barracudas with 440ci engines, not hemis.

Carroll Shelby admitted in a 1987 interview that he personally did not like the Cobra by design, the original 427 side-oiler engine, the cramped seating, and the engine so close to the firewall. He did not like that it had no hardtop. However, he appreciates the fact that it is successful in car enthusiast culture. Although he likes the Mustang Shelbys he built with Ford, he also helped Dodge with the design of the Viper. The 1970 Cuda is 375 hp hemi engine government was cracking down horsepower 427 = 435 hp copo central office production order 454 = 390 hp I worked in a car Restoration shop again government was holding back the horsepower.

A muscle car must be the two door, sport roofed version of the four door , formal roofed model. It must be a full size or intermediate chassis. If it is not that then it is something else. A sports car must be a two door, roof optional, inline engine in the front but behind the front axle centerline, manual transmission and rear drive. A gt car is any mix of these on any chassis but comfort is important. Camaro, mustang, challenger , amx and the like are pony cars. Pony cars can also be GT cars.

Inline four or six mounted behind the front axle center line, a manual transmission, two seater with or without roof, two door, rear wheel drive. The closest things we had back in the day was a thunder bird or a Corvette. So the big four made pony cars. Muscle cars are specifically a two door sport roofed version of the four door formal roofed model of a full sized or intermediate chassis. A mustang was never a muscle car, a nova can be.

@@buzzwaldron6195 No engine back then put out 560 horsepower...they were all overrated using the fake gross system that was banned after 1971. This involved removing all exhaust, air filters, and belts then running on a dyno. That is the GROSS number. The NET number is when they put all that back on, in which you have lost 18-20%. Thus the 454 450 hp was only 330 hp, the 426 425 hp Hemi was only 350 horsepower....all the redone numbers were in the factory parts catalog starting in 1972. The 435 rating was only 360 net. No 454 or 427 ever put out 560 gross, or anything near it. That was a sales pitch to sell cars. Even the Baldwin-motion after market street racers with 454 and 427 motors were rated at 500 gross and they had the full mods. There is no way a 560 gross horsepower car would have been drivable on the street back then, Baldwin tried. The 560 hp rating of those 427 and 454 engines is and always has been a myth.

This list is very misleading. hare are a few you missed, Ram Air V (475 HP) Pontiac 421 Super Duty (468 HP) Pontiac 428 H.O (425 HP). This does not even include the engines that got into cars that were WAY more powerful than their "official rating". Such as the 1972-73 455 S.D. that Pontiac scammed the EPY with that was in the low 500's. Do better research.

Tres beau reportage sauf qu`ils y a beaucoup d erreur dans le topo pour le nombre de HP dans plusieurs catégories de moteur sont completement faux,vous lisez trop de spec de l usine la réalité est toute autres la Viper a 450 HP fait moi pas rire c est 715 HP, la Chevelle SS 454 a 450 HP ont devraient lire 575 HP et tous sa c est de compagnie qu` elles sont comme sa dites donc les vrai choses au lieu de prendre les gens pour des imbéciles.

It is inconceivable that the L88 Corvette was not even mentioned, and it had the highest rated horsepower of ANY stock American car to date. This egregious oversight calls into question the validity of any information given in this VERY inaccurate video, not only of the Corvette but a few of the others as well. Do your research before making a video and presenting it to a nation of motorheads.
