Oldsmobile Starfire (1961)
Despite the fact that Oldsmobile started the muscle car segment, it wasn’t active until 1961, when the rest of Detroit`s manufacturers introduced more powerful models and gained respect on the street and on the strips. Oldsmobile saw the potential and introduced the Starfire, its top-of-the-line model, which featured engines from the bigger models. All big Oldsmobiles used 394 V8 with 325 HP ratings, but in Starfire, the engine delivered 330 HP and gave the 1961 model some performance credentials.
