Default 10 Surprising Facts About American Muscle Cars

I seen this today and thought it had some good facts.
10 Surprising Facts About American Muscle Cars - Popular Mechanics

Then I was thinking there is a lot of stuff people don't really know about certain cars unless they have done research on them or restored them. So if anyone has any info about a certain car that they have learned along the way feel free to share it.

Newer cars HAVE to have all of this safety equipment and gadgets on board, that adds A LOT of weight.
