A muscle car is generally defined as a vehicle made in the late 60's and early 70's that is either a compact to midsize coupe with a big eight cylinder engine, lots of options (emphasis on being able to strip it to no options), and can be bought on a budget...
Half of the cars on that list are for rich folk. Not muscle cars. The Porsches, Jags, Audis, etc., etc. of that time were usually comparatively powerful to the American muscle cars but were never given the term. They were European sports/luxury cars then and they're European sports/luxury cars now.
The only reason I call the modern Challenger, Camaro, and Mustang muscle cars is because it's more of an endearing term for them. The nameplates are all synonymous to muscle cars.
