With that being said, i was simply stating the opinion that i don't believe these are muscle cars... That doesn't mean that they're not performance cars...just not muscle cars.

And FWIW Pauls325....i see plenty of two lane blacktop on a daily basis.

BTW...i don't consider the Camaro/TA's muscle cars either

i agree with you as well. everyone has thier own opinions, but i dont see them as muscle cars as well. it is def a fun car though.


I see muscle cars as mid 60's - mid 70's cars with tons of steel, huge motors and no options. the sole purpose was to go fast.

all the newer (like 70's +) camaros and mustangs are soley considered pony cars. not even muscle.

I miss my 01 GTP though.
