I say no. Roadsters to me are cars that never had provisions for a rear seat. F-Bodies have rear seats, whether they were removed or not.
To me some modern day roadsters:
Corvette
Viper
Ford GT
S2000
Miata
ect...
Of course not every car is in the same category.
Classic roadsters would be stuff like the 32 Ford and stuff like that, of course I think some of those had that flip up rear seat in the trunk area.
This is just my opinion on it.

Maybe the V6 cars.
The 4th gen V8 F-body is a 2+2 coupe that was fitted with the largest passenger car V8 offered by GM during that era. It was also the only 4-seat RWD/V8 coupe sold by GM in those years. Therefore, V8 4th gen = modern muscle car.

When they came out in the 60's as GM's answer to the Mustangs they were all collectively refered to as Pony Cars. IMO once a Pony Car always a Pony Car.
Even back then the 396 and cars were known as Pony Cars so it didn't matter what the engine size was. The rare 427 cars skipped over the muscle car genre and were pretty much considered race cars...
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree
It's all good but I think we both agree it daaayyyuuummm sho ain't no roadster

u cant specifically classify cars like ours this day and age
people out there call them pony cars, muscle cars, sports cars etc.
example: there are people who think they are sports cars and not mucle or pony cars and vise versa
just something to blow time thinking about to hurt your head
