370Z still considered a Japanese Muscle Car

I don’t know if I would consider my Z a muscle car. I don’t even think they consider the GTR a muscle car, but rather a performance machine.

What's up with the four doors being included in this list?

I understand our Z's shouldn't be included in there either because I consider a 2 seater a sports car. Geez these young writers today.

Mustang, Camaro, and Corvette are the original American muscle cars.
Yeah that's just because there is only 2 other car's from Japan that meet the muscle car specs (RWD, 2Door, Front Engine, "cheap"). Unless you change what the definition of a muscle car the 370z will always be a Japanese muscle car.

I consider the Corvette a sports car. I feel you are right on the Mustang and Camaro, but shouldn't you include Nova's, Old Charger's, Challenger's,Chevelle's,Fairlane's,GTO's,Super Bee's, Road Runner's,etc. etc.
The list is quite long actually.
