Re: What is the definition of a muscle car?
I'm sure someone oput here is waiting for this, so here goes:
When outlining the requirements for the original factory "muscle car", Jim Wangers and John Z. DeLorean first used the term "muscle" when describing the GTO. This is well documented in Jim Wangers' book "Glory Days". They make it quite clear. "Intermediate body with a 'big car' engine in it".
All the additions over the years fall into the category of "vernacular", and not "definition". By those standards, there is oly one true muscle car currently in production, and by no coincidence, it's called "GTO"...
