not muscle, but you can definitely get performance, especially with those ever so popular rent-an-impala....
But fwd didn't get the nick name "fail wheel drive" just for ***** and giggles, lol.

muscle car - a domestic vehicle with boat like handling and a large displacement motor.
so no lol granted there are some fast FWD's but muscle goes hand in hand with burnouts, and honestly if i do a burnout it looks good....if an impala does a burnout i assume they wanna make it to the grocery store before coupon day is over lol Like mentioned above, FWD is a grocery getter, slap a LS4 in it and pour tons of money in it, and you have a ballsy grocery getter

For my daily I have a 06 Impala SS. It's a great car very confortable and a total sleeper that surprises many people.
NO IT ISN"T A MUSCLE CAR although I am not sure a G8 or a CTS-V I would even call a Muscle car.

you guys have heard about the Hurst Hairy Oldsmobile 442 right? Had two blown 425ci engines in it... the front engine was for the front wheels & the rear engine was for the back tires.... all together you got a bad *** ride.
so I dont know what you call that........ 4 wheel drive? Personally I would like to see an awd muscle car... but thats just me?

A lot of people are missing the fact that there is 2 questions here.
muscle cars OR performance cars
muscle car is a hell no that is a 2 door car that handles like crap with a big ci motor hell you might be-able to get away with some of the old 4 doors from the 60's and 70's as muscle cars.
performance cars yes they can be. They can be sporty ie
cobalt=sport compact/tuner
impala=well its a grocery getter(but can be made to a performance car/sport sedan)
g8, ctsv and all other cars that are in this category are sport sedans
corvette=sports car not muscle
a performance car/sporty car can be made and can be fwd. If the car has any type of performance or sport to it read above that answers the question.
