Most people think that just because you’ve got a couple of kids, a job, and the need to ravage The Home Depot on occasion, that owning a fun family hauler is out of the question. However BIG MUSCLE is here to let you know that we’ve got you covered. Don’t believe me? How does a combined total of 1,111 horsepower and top speeds of over 185 mph sound? We recently headed up to Monticello Motor Club in Monticello, NY with a few wicked family trucksters, a special guest and one bad-ass Mopar that served as our BIG MUSCLE transport for the afternoon. Hit the jump to watch the video!

In case anyone was worried that people don't already spend enough time behind the wheel twiddling with their devices, Microsoft has unveiled Project Detroit, "a concept car created to inspire developers to think about building apps and automotive technologies of the future." Great, now even classic-car owners can be glued to a screen wherever they go, with infotainment technologies including Xbox 360, Windows Phone, Bing, and Ford Sync beamed into the car through Microsoft's "connected-device scenarios" includes. The fastback Mustang was built in collaboration with Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame. And the car will be featured on Inside West Coast Customs this Sunday on Discovery, so if you're interested you can get a closer look. More pics below the jump, via Microsoft.

The GT500 hardtop is going to run $54,995 including destination charge, and the convertible version will set you back $59,995. What do you think, is that about right or is it too much? Remember, this is a 650 hp Mustang we're talking about. More details at Carscoop.
The experts (Motor Trend for example) have been predicting that the Pontiac Trans Am is the next collector car, but does the pricing show it? Is this the right time to buy your dream Trans Am or to hang on to the one under the tarp behind the barn?
Check out some of prices of the large showing of Trans Ams at the recent Mecum Muscle Cars and More auction in Kissimmee Florida. Video after the jump!

The current Challenger is quite a bit bigger and heavier than the current Mustang and Camaro. Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing, especially if you want a big, burly boulevard cruiser. But with the Mustang and Camaro expected to shrink even more by 2015 (not to mention CAFE standards), something is gonna have to give. The latest rumors have it that the Challenger will be replaced by a new, smaller 'Cuda based on a RWD Alfa Romeo platform. Personally, I'm not a fan of bringing back the 'Cuda name since Plymouth is long gone, but it would probably be a popular move with many folks. What do you think? Via Motor Trend
Pairing up the new 2012 Camaro ZL1 against Nissan’s mighty GT-R is the equivalent of bringing a knife to a gun fight. I mean sure, there is a chance that you could get lucky, but those odds are pretty slim, so the best bet would simply be not to accept the challenge in the first place. There is no question that Chevy’s new super mullet is a pure animal. It’s got 580 hp, performance traction management and enough testosterone to impregnate the state of Texas. However at days end the Camaro is still a muscle car, which means it has muscle car DNA, which means it was never meant to take on the likes of the GT-R. Yes it’s fast and to date there is no question that its probably the most well sorted production muscle car ever built. However the Nissan GT-R is a super car that was built to take on the world’s best and because of this the competition was over before it even began. Source: RoadandTrack.com
