And that reason will lead you where you will find the answer to the "What's considered a muscle car?" For example, does Muscle Car status affect insurance rates? Probably not, but if so, then look to the insurance industry for the answer. Does it affect what will be covered in a particular magazine or trade publication? If so, then ask the magazine publishers what makes something a muscle car. Does it affect what your peers will think of you? If so, then ask your peers what a muscle car is. Lastly, does it affect what you think of the car you own? If so, then the answer is within, grasshopper  .
You have to answer the fundamental question of "why does it matter?" before you can answer the "What". The variety of answers and debate in this thread is evidence of that. |
lol.. you clearly just don't get it. Did I ever say any of those pointless things you mentioned? WOW! Way to over analyze something that wasn't that complicated to begin with. Good Job guy! you're great! *sarcasm*
Anyways... actually had a Car and Driver magazine July 2008 issue with the SRT8 Challenger and the Mustang Bullit.. the front cover itself under the pic of the cars, on the left side of the magazine states Modern American Muscle Cars.. so I would go ahead and assume the Camaro falls in the same category if they're saying that about the Challenger and Mustang.
