What is a muscle car

Funny you should bring up the Neon SRT as a muscle car or not. When that car came out my dad worked for a Dodge dealership and he went to a Chrysler sponsered "meet and greet", so to speak, for the car. They let them drive the car on a closed course. Being an old muscle car guy my dad was actually pretty impressed with the car. As far as a car in the tuner world it kicked *** out of the factory, unlike other tuners and it dosen't take a lot to make it even better. Basically it was race ready just like the Chrysler muscle cars of old. Where Chrysler screwed up is that they marketed it to middle age muscle car guys from the 60s and 70s....ie middle age men. They misunderstood the market, marketed to the wrong crowd and one of the best factory tuners went by the wayside.
