Top Muscle Cars You'd Never Suspect

Ever been amazed by the performance of a station wagon? We will show you one that belongs in the muscle car category, along with some other cars you'd never expect to have so much going on under their hoods. Who knows? Maybe you've been riding a muscle car all along and didn't even know about it!

1994-96 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon

We promised you a muscle station wagon, and the Buick Roadmaster is it. Its faux-wood panels and Vista Cruiser roof mask a Corvette LT-1 V8 engine. Churning out 260-hp, the Roadmaster would go 0 to 60 in 7.8 seconds. At 5,000 pounds of vehicle, that is impressive.

1984-86 Ford Mustang SVO

It's a Mustang, so maybe it is cheating to include it on the list, but it is unexpected because this 'Stang has a 4-cylinder engine. Ford toyed with a whole line of turbo-charged 4-cylinders in the mid-80s, and the SVO was the Mustang model. At the time, this was the fastest Mustang available.

1992-93 Dodge Daytona IROC R/T

Chrysler also experimented with the 4-cylinder turbo, introducing the Daytona IROC in 1992. It was used in the International Race of Champions (IROC), a race that pits drivers against each other with the same car and same equipment. It's little 2.2-liter 4-cylinder produced 224-hp to front-wheel drive through a 5-speed transmission. With a top speed over 150 mph and reaching 60 in six seconds, the Daytona deserves to be a muscle car.

2005-08 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP

The predecessor to the G8, the Grand Prix GXP was a V8 sedan that followed Pontiac's traditional formula. Stock your standard, boring sedan with a powerful engine, call it by a different name, and you have a muscle car. At 303-hp, the 5.3-liter small-block V8 would hit 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. Not bad for a front-wheel drive.
