Hey, I'm not arguing that it isn't a musclecar, just trying to be a little more specific. And you have to remember, just because Pontiac called it one doesn't mean squat... at one time they probably said the Aztec was good looking, or called the Sunfire "sporty"

Like I said before, the most famous of the Camaro name was the Z/28.
The Z/28 was invented specifically to compete in SCCA "Sports Car Clubs of America", I would say that makes it a sports car. The SS 396 or COPO 427 is a different story, I guess you could say there both a muscle car and sports car? I would say the same for the Vette, the big block Vettes werent known for the great handling but they had tons of power and torque...Muscle car?
Call them what you want.

Ford might say pony car, a select few might say sports car but Muscle Car sounds soo much cooler

Also, in the official SCCA event, the Z/28 was totally transformed into a sportscar (one seat, lightweight components, complete performance). however, the street version was not considered one, no matter how many people decline this statement. just because it's fast, looks cool, and has only 2 doors, doesn't mean it falls under the same category. i admit, it's CLOSE, and has many similar attributes as a sportscar, but the 4-passenger seating capability just kills that theory.
BOSS APPROVED!

I think that they are muscle cars. IMO anything that is capable of running low 13's off the showroom floor is a muscle car. They may not SOUND like a muscle car but that can change. I thought my sounded a bit ricey until I got LTs and cat-back. Now it sounds NASCARish hee hee!
