slight off topic here, but its always an interesting subject. I like to think of "muscle" cars as the ninja turtle of the car world, a beef up version of an otherwise normal car. For example
base mustang
- normal (economy) engine
- normal suspension/tires
- normal aerodynamic (smaller spoilers, etc)
muscle version
- high output engine
- larger wheels/tires
- stiffer suspension
- more aerodynamic
You won't see the ecoboost mustang being compared to the Z, a cayman or even a miata. Its going to be the GT and that cool, they are impressive but its still a bit of a wannabe sports car.
