35 Muscle Cars To Bring Back (And 10 To Forget About)

1977 Mercury Cougar

The 1977 Mercury Cougar was, in a certain sense, a luxury version of the Ford Mustang. It was a bigger, more luxurious version of the Mustang yet it didn’t offer the same level of performance. Don’t get me wrong, certain years of the Cougar were perfectly fine. However, the 1977 Cougar was a slow, laborious car. It took nearly 15 seconds for the 1979 Cougar to hit 60 miles per hour. Many of the muscle cars on this list could do a quarter mile 14 seconds or less. The 1977 Cougar needed over 20 seconds.
