Default RE: Why so many high HP cars now?

My theory is that they were work on building it up slowly to try to increase the power while still making them somewhat practical. I think the super low fuel prices of the late 90s was what kicked off the second muscle car war. When people had a taste again of what cheap gas was like, people decided they wanted more and more power. This craving has been able to off set the rising fuel prices up until the current times. Also some people who are switching over to muscle cars previously were driving trucks and these models are still more fuel efficient than trucks, so people will still be willing to buy muscle cars.
