They don't have muscle cars in the U.K.?

They should know what a Roman chariot race is, since they were once part of the Roman Empire. (People from the U.S. had to hear about yellow matter custard.)

At the time the song was released, not really. The closest would be the Jaguars (those pop-up in those kinds of songs, though, notably "Dead Man's Curve")

Even the "fast" cars in England and continental Europe would not be known for displacement in the same way that muscle cars are. You have the colonialists and aristocrat cars (Rovers and Rolls Royce), but then you have Coopers and MGs and Lotus. No muscle cars. Lotuses were fast because they were light.

They probably didn’t have ‘62 Impala Super Sports with a 409, 4 speed, 2 Carter 4bls, and a positraction rear end either.
