Having grown up in the muscle car era I think I have a good idea of what it was all about... The Ferrari was a sports car, not muscle or even a super car. Super cars are modern although the Superbird at 180-200mph from the factory was a supercar if you ask me. I had a 71 Challenger RT at 19 as well as a 72 Chevelle at 18 and have the GTX now.
Muscle was engine power and thats it. Bad handling was just a benefit...LOL
We have modern muscle now with good handling... do the car look the same?? Not even close and you dont die by hitting a tree at 35 mph anymore either so yes there are some distinct differences from back in the day but dont confuse that with a term.
