I think the definition of "muscle car" will most likely change relative to the other cars being manufactured at the time.

Will they be a "shell" of themselves" like they were in the mid 70's, most likely.

Hell I bought a 1975 Trans Am with my re-enlistment bonus - 400 CI's and 180HP. But then again at the time it was still one the fastest cars being sold. The Mustang was a joke then and the Camaro and Dodge’s had similar HP.
