Go flaunt your G8 in that section. Oh that's right, you don't have anything special in there. You don't have to disparage LS4 w-bodies just because you may not agree or have something newer. Head to your local middle school on Monday afternoon and try to impress some girls there.

Eh hard to say. most FWD cars have a v6 or i4, which is definitely not whatd youd have in a muscle car..our car has a v8 but is still fwd...So my answer is I DONT KNOW, leaning towards its not a muscle car but a midsize coupe...But i do know that it does the same thing regardless of what its called..

girlfriend says yes because i said so

I had 3 Grand Prixs and they are great cars. So I'm not saying this because I have a G8 or putting them down in any way. And since I make custom parts for the w-body cars I have a lot more interaction with the w-body owners than the G8 owners.

Here's a pic of my previous car:

They are chrome Eagle 077's in 18x8 size. They were also available in 17x8 too. They were a popular wheel on the Grand Prix's until they stopped making them. I also had them on my 99 GP.

Cool, thanks. Just looked and only had 17x8, guess I could live with that, but they're awfully heavy...

I dOnt worry about how my car is catagorized. You can call it a muscle car, or a grocery getter. End of the day it is what it is, I can race it abs hold my own, or my girl can take it to get groceries. Just sayin

I know the G8 GT is a muscle car so you can think what you want. See all the smoke coming off the rear tires in my sig pic?

Most of you here have already said that a muscle car has a V8 with 300+ hp and RWD.

S2000 and 240SX.

I typically say performance sedan, a few of my friends say modern muscle. I just like to stir the pot in this threads.
