Nope the G37 has a V6 so it's not in the same league as the CTS-V.

I agree with that statment but I still feel like we still have a hint of muscle especially the ss's and the increase of hp from 6th gen

I would say so, it's as fast or faster than some V8 cars.

I thought V8 was a qualifier? Do all fast RWD cars count? I know an S2K and 240 that are.

No the Grand National is special. I've seen them do 9's in the quarter with a bigger turbo and the stock block. Plus it came from an era where muscle cars were dying out and it revived the passion.

Said S2000 and 240 run 9s and 10s respectively, tentatively. S2000 is almost done, 240 is going to the track Friday since being fixed, lol.

The S2000 made 700 whp on stock internals, then they decided to go for more and stripped it down and made a pure drag car of it.

A muscle car has to be American made, which is where they originated from.
