Muscle car definitions?

Rumblefish's words on what is and is not or what makes one a muscle car.

IMHO, it kind of goes on what engine package it was given along with suspension. Theres alot of gray area here on this subject. But basicly, taking the manufacture out of the picture, it is a car given a large powering engine. Later years it also included the suspension.

Some cars were given the Pa-zaz treatment while others were given the plain jane treatment. In example, the dressed up '74 flaming bird on the hood Firebird vs a 68 Charger with the only hint your gonna get stomped was a tiny little badge that said HEMI on the door.

Muscle cars are a ave. car with mostly a different trim level, however minor, and a engine beefed up from the factory.
Lets face it. Most were not 1/4 mile tire friers. But 3.23 or 3.55 equiped Hwy. runners.

Cars that are NOT;

Volore's, K - car , Vega, Those tiny ugle Mustangs of the mid 70's thogh that 302 Corba was quick for what it was, LTD and Crown Vic, Post early 70's Implala, Catalinas, Buick 225, Chrysler N.Y.er's and Imperials. Fast, not muscule cars.

Quick story;
I had a guy (clown) pull up next to me at the light and start revin the engine and verbally bother me. He says, "Well, aint that a muscule car!?!?!" I said, "Hey look guy (Clown), just because you see an old car dosen't make it a muscle car." (Clown says) "But weren't Dusters mu." I interupt with the story. Lets face it, there like the Hyundia excels, everywhere, cheap. Dime a dozen. It's just that a few of these came equiped with some decent power. (Imagine a Excell with 240 HP instead of the big 110 in came with.)

ON THE CUDA vs Barracuda. I matched my ("technically?") Barracuda up to a "CUDA" because Mr. Stuff shirt said his was the performance model and mine was nothing.
Sorry blow hard, the olny difference we both could find was the word "Barracuda" on the tail panel. Exact same cars. I Mean it. Exact except for that 1 little item.
So Mr. stuff shirt and brother blow hard, I say this to you;
I don't give a rats butt what it is and isn't. It's mine and when I'm done with the engine, it'll stomp your sorry butt yet again even worse.
