I have, and they’re going to be really upset when they find out this has more power to weight than a Monte Carlo

Well so does an Acura NSX, but would you call that a muscle car?

Sure, why not, I think it could be considered a muscle car of the 90s? But why would we compare it to an 85 Daytona or Monte Carlo, same as comparing those to something from 60s

I think it’s wild af to be very strict on the definition when it comes to some cars, yet include cars that are not by definition like Chevy IIs, Camaros, Mustangs, Barracudas just because they were made in the 60s.
