Pontiac GTO
Introduced in 1964, the Pontiac GTO quickly became one of the iconic cars of the ’60s. The previous year, General Motors had entered into a voluntary ban on creating racing cars, which meant that the company started emphasizing street performance over top speeds. The result was the birth of the muscle car, as while some few high powered street cars were available in the past, it was the GTO that set the standard for how muscle cars should feel and handle.
