am tired of people saying a car as a specific type, yet they keep saying it is wrong, so here for future referance when you are about to call a mustang a sports car please read. “Muscle Car” Definition: The term muscle car generally describes a mid-size car with a large, powerful engine (typically, although not universally, a V8 engine) and special trim, intended for maximum acceleration on the street or in drag racing competition. It is distinguished from sports cars, which were customarily and coincidentally considered smaller, two-seat cars, or GTs, two-seat or 2+2 cars intended for high-speed touring and possibly road racing. High-performance full-size or compact cars are arguably excluded from this category, as are the breed of compact sports coupes inspired by the Ford Mustang and typically known as pony cars, although few would dispute a big-block pony car’s credentials as a muscle car. Examples; American muscle cars Road & Track identified the following models as “musclecars” in 1965: - 1964-1965 Pontiac Tempest Le Mans GTO - 1965-1975 Buick Riviera Gran Sport - 1965-1969 Buick Skylark Gran Sport - 1965-1970 Dodge Coronet/Plymouth Belvedere 426-S - 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS - 1965-1967 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Other later muscle cars include the following: - 1968-1974 AMC AMX - 1970-1974 Buick GSX - 1965-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle SS - 1958-1966 Chevrolet Impala SS - 1970-1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS454 - 1963-1974 Chevrolet Nova SS - 1966-1974 Dodge Charger - 1968-1976 Dodge Dart GTS and Demon - 1969-1970 Dodge Daytona - 1968-1971 Dodge Super Bee - 1966-1969 Ford Fairlane GT, GTA, and Cobra - 1968-1974 Ford Torino (GT & Cobra) - 1968-1971 Oldsmobile 442 - 1964-1974 Plymouth Barracuda - 1970-1976 Plymouth Duster - 1967-1971 Plymouth GTX - 1968-1974 Plymouth Road Runner - 1970 Plymouth Superbird - 1966-1971 Pontiac GTO Australian muscle cars Holden ~ Its Australian for Car - 1968-1969 HK GTS (327) - 1969-1970 HT GTS (327) - 1970-1971 HG GTS (350) - 1971-1974 HQ GTS (350) - 1974-1976 HJ GTS (350) - 1976-1977 HX GTS (350) - 1977-1977 HZ GTS (350) - 1970-1972 LC GTR XU-1 (186) - 1972-1974 LJ GTR XU-1 (202) - 1974-1976 LH SL/R 5000 (30 - 1974-1976 LH SL/R 5000 A9X (30 - 1976-1978 LX SL/R 5000 (30 - 1976-1978 LX SL/R 5000 A9X (30 Ford - 1967-1968 XR GT - 1969-1970 XW GT - 1969-1970 XW GTHO - 1971 XY GT - 1971 XY Phase III GTHO - 1972 Phase IV GTHO 4 door coupe (only five made) - 1972-1973 XA GT hardtop coupe - 1973-1976 XB GT hardtop coupe - 1977-1979 XC GT hardtop coupe - 1977-1979 XC Cobra 5.8 - 1977-1979 XC Cobra 4.6 “Pony Car” Definition:he pony car is a class of automobile launched and inspired by the Ford Mustang in 1964. It describes an affordable, compact, highly styled car with a sporty or performance-oriented image. Examples; 1965-1973, 1979-200X Ford Mustang 1967-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am 1965-1967 Chevrolet Corvair 1968-1972 AMC AMX 1968-1974 AMC Javelin 1970-1974 Dodge Challenger 1967-1973 Mecury Couger 1964-1974 Plymouth 'Cuda “Sports Car” Definition:A sports car is a type of automobile designed primarily for performance driving. While opinions differ as to the exact definition, most sports cars have two seats and two doors and are designed to provide excellent handling, acceleration, and good looks. A sports car can be described as a car whose dominant design consideration is driving performance. A sports car’s main emphasis is on performance by superior road holding, braking, maneuverability, low weight and power rather than comfort, passenger space, and economy. Examples; Well known specialist brands or marques, modern and classic, are: - AC (England) - Alfa Romeo (Italy) - Alpine (France) - Aston Martin (England) - Austin-Healey (England) - BMW M (Germany) - Bricklin (Canada) - Bugatti (France) - Caterham (England) - Cunningham (USA) - Darrian/Davrian Cars (England) - De Lorean (USA) - Ferrari (Italy) - Fisker (USA) - Jaguar (England) - Koenigsegg (Sweden) - Lamborghini (Italy) - Ligier (France) - Lotus (England) - Marcos (England) - McLaren (England) - Maserati (Italy) - MG (England) - Morgan (England) - Noble (England) - Pagani (Italy) - Panoz (USA) - Porsche (Germany) - Spyker (Netherlands) - Triumph (England) - TVR (England) - Vector (USA) thank you for using the right term, ps muscle cars never had 4 doors ---

But the wikipedia article (i.e. not a definition) makes mention of a sports car being no compromise, everything geared toward performance. I don’t exactly see the performance gained from a roomy back seat 😛 By that definition an Evo IX _wagon_ would be a sports car as well. I’ve read the affect on the weight balance actually improves handling too 🙂 ---
