A classic automobile with chrome bumpers,stonking big powerful engine,a car with street cred.
T series falcons do NOT meet this criteria,even when cruising through oxford street.

A style of car that became popular in the US, which, while it makes a pretty good growl, manages to produce very little power, despite having 6+ litres of displacement. While they were very quick (and actually rather good looking and stylish in their own way) in the 60s and 70s, modern muscle cars are now left standing by Euro and Japanese cars (such as the supra, skyline, and BMW 3,5,6 series) of much smaller displacement, with more BHP and more BHP/Litre which also offer better fuel economy, better styling, and aerodynamics than their fat, sluggish, ugly, thirsty american counterparts.
The 69 Chevelle SS, 69 mustang, and C2 Corvette stingray are examples of great classic muscle cars, all very cool.
The 2008 Mustang managed to achieve a shocking 210 bhp from a 4.0l engine, America should be ashamed to claim that it is a performance vehicle, the Japanese get nearly 50% more than that from an engine half the size.

over rated american cars that are too heavy, have crap suspension, and accelerate like a fiat because they are so heave, plus need a 427 or 429 to make 400+ hp when porsche can make 400+ hp with a 219 (3.6 litre)

A car that is fast going straight, the fanboys of muscle cars will usually if not always make fun of imports and call them ricers. Muscle cars are only good in straights. The car can't handle for shit. And the drivers think that they are fast because it smokes an import on the quarter mile. If you drive an import, and some muscle car guy approaches you to race. 100% of the time, it's going to be down the nearest straight street.
I think I speak for many when I say I want to see a muscle car keep up with an import on the 20.8km Nurburgring Nordscheilfe race track.

Muscle car guy: Hey, riceboy, wanna race? I'll smoke yo riced up civic.
Import car guy: Okay, lets go to a track?
Muscle car guy: A track? Oh n0ez. Let's go to a drag strip. My car can't turn for shit. I only know how to go straight.
Import car guy: Straight? What the fuck is that. That takes no skill.
Muscle car guy: I only know how to shift gears and step on the pedals. My car doesn't even have a steering wheel.
Import car guy: Fuck it, loser ass muscle car fanboy.
You see, muscle car boys only race in 1 direction, straight.. Put ONE turn in that goddamn race and that muscle car loses. Place those two on the track, sit back and relax as the import accelerates on the turn, and watch the muscle car tear its unreliable ass apart.

Shit cars, made by shit American car companies. At best, they drive fast in a straight line, but that's it. They handle like boats, and don't stop. Interiors are made from cheap plastics, and the overall build quality is shit. Much like a typical American car.
Driven by idiots who think going fast in a straight line with an automatic transmission requires skill and makes them good drivers.

Person A: Look at my sweet Chevy, does a 1/4 in 10s. You can't mess with a "muscle car."
Person B: *sigh* If you think you and your car are so good, go drive around the Nurburgring. You'll end up in the ditch shitting your pants on the first slight turn.

a typical car where young naive, lost, cocky, white boys would drive not knowing shit about cars, and thinks their cars the shit just becuase it beat some riced out import and would get all excited about beating it, thus thinking all imports are crap. well, the sad thing is muscle car fans out there u gotta be joking with ur tin can piece of crap, ugly, unreliable, muscle cars, cuz any import around the same price range will kill it either in the straight away or the curves. actually it doesnt even have to be on the same price range, and would still beat it.
all you dumbass white boys think honda civics, and accords are the only imports out their but think again. there are many imports that can beat mustangs, camaros, novas, gto's, transams, and even corvettes with some mods. and we're only talking about the straights.
some ex will be:(evo9,sti,350z,s2000,type s,skyline,supra twin turbo,wrx,nsxr) so many more to name. and note all these cars with only 2000-4000 dollars in mods or even less will kill all muscle cars.
an evo9 or sti with just a reflash will kill mustangs, transams, and camaros on the drag. and a supercharged s2000 will obliterate almost about anything in the world. corvettes, and almost all muscles will be raped with ease. so you muscles fans out their just admit it that ur cars suck dick. not even white girls like it. too bad all the chicks dig imports. another plus side is that it has style, quality, fuel efficient, light, chick magnets, and handles million times better.
i own a sti and spent only 2300 dollars in mods which includes( vishnu stage 1, used hks turbo back, manual boost control, and a used up pipe, stripped trunk,) running 400 to the crank, and beat a 2006 corvette by one car length in a drag which cost almost twice as much even with all the mods. thats pretty sad you muscle car fans, isnt it. and the conclusion is this. if i can beat a corvette then i can beat about 80% of all stock muscles cars. and in the future more mods are to come and by the end of this year ill be raping all muscles cars in america going at around 11 sec. oh yea and also to mention i dont consider stripped out shit a car. so if any muscle car can go 8 or 9 sec on drag with everything stripped out then its outta the question. hell, i can strip my car, and will be running 9 sec, but then there will be no point in driving a car. its stupid.
so dont even argue any more aiite. its over. nothing to argue about. muscles cars suck no matter what. its the fact. aiite payce.

Another crap ass American made vehicle. Devours large amounts of gas but has no balls. Many faget ass muscle car owners believe they can go fast just because they got a big engine. Please study your laws of physics you faget asses. More mass and more power equals fast car. Less mass and more power equals fastest car.
