A high performance and potent car, usually American, sometimes Australian, British or South African. Distinctive characteristics include a large, heavy frame similar to a mid-size family sedan, a huge V8 engine with at least 4 liters (244 CID) of displacement, a gearbox with extremely tight ratios, an interior with enough room for 4 people, and a price that is much lower than an European simile. Due to their poor handling and their fabulous acceleration, they are best suited for straight-line drag racing.
