Re: Best CURRENT muscle cars.

No one accused you of modifying the definition -- popular usage has modified it!

Re: Best CURRENT muscle cars.

like i said on a previous diss. i may own a pontiac but im a chevy girl all the way. THE WORD MUSCLE CAR WAS GIVEN TO A GENERATION OF CERTAIN CARS THAT HAD SIMULARITIES.THEY'RE IN A CLASS OF THERE OWN. THE WORD MUSCLE CAR PUTS A PERTICULAR IMAGE IN YOUR HEAD.WHEN SOME SAYS MUSCLE CAR WHATS THE 1ST IMAGE YOU SEE A 67 CAMARO OR A 00 MUSTANG? WOULD YOU CALL A YOUNG ADULT, FROM THE "X" GENERATION,WHO WEARS BELL BOTTOMS & FLOWERS A CURRENT BABYBOOMER? THE NEW CARS ARE NOT CLASSIFIED AS MUSCLE BUT SPORTY.

Re: Best CURRENT muscle cars.

I agree with slothboy, muscle cars are not new cars. They are from a specific era, and though I may not agree with 100% of the standards of "muscle cars", this is one point I WILL agree with.

OK, so a Boss 429 Mustang and 500 KR Cobra are not muscle cars....

Just a sub-set.....







OK?!?!?

in my opinion a muscle car more about the looks. they put straght 6s in novas and in some camaros, mopars and fords as well, but the body style TO ME says muscle. and a pony car is to me a muscle car you cant say the hemis, 440s, 427s, 428s, and 429s werent good muscle engines. and if the pony cars where smaller with big engines in them it = fast which is always good.

Re: Best CURRENT muscle cars.

Muscle car is defined by each person in a different way. IMO muscle car is any car made between 1965-1972, Also, it had to be offered with a v-8, and i prefer that it could be offerd with a big block. Imports arn't muscle cars, they are fads, give them time, they will die.
