We’ve Got Power and Charm for This Week’s Pairs.

[p]A new battle starts at the Horizon Backstage Vote this week. Enjoy a duel of muscle, power, and charisma with both pairs featuring an American muscle car and a charming partner. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Up first, a top tier drag racer equipped with a massive 7-liter V8 engine – the 1964 Plymouth Belvedere. Bred to race, the Belvedere did a complete sweep of the 1964 Daytona NASCAR race taking all three podium finishes. This light-weight muscle car is craving to run between stop lights and ovals! Turn down the volume a little with the 1965 MINI Cooper S Forza Edition, an all-electric custom version of the classic MINI. This grippy all-wheel drive MINI 235 bhp, probably more powerful than you thought and has a lot more surprises in store! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]An icon of the 60’s from front to back, the 1968 Pontiac Firebird headlines the second team joining this week’s Vote. This bird's wings come in the shape of its 6.6-liter V8 engine that produces 343 bhp and 430 lb⋅ft of torque. The Firebird screams the best parts of the muscle car era like the chorus of a classic rock song. A military vehicle turned into a symbol of freedom and fun, the 1973 Volkswagen Thing is meant to explore the roads less traveled and make every journey feel like an adventure. [/p][p][/p][p][/p]
