Yeah I am an idiot...the first one was just pointing out that for example if you took a 1969 Camaro and modified it by putting mods on it it would never be upclasified to a muscle car. Only the performance version would have met that criteria. The second one was after doing a ton of searching on car show sponsors and auto sociaties and determining how they classify our cars. Mine is heavily modified and thus would qualify for the Hot Rod division. However if it was left stock it would have been shown and judged in the late model class. This was from like 5 of the major national auto shows on their registration pages and rules for entry. No real difference was given between the v8 and the v6 thus a heavily modified v6 would also be in the same Hot Rod division.
The one thing that was abundatly clear and also was pointed out by many of the fellas here is that Muscle cars were only cars built between 1964 and 1974 without exception. No ifs ands or buts. Sports cars were not limited by model year but had to be considered light, and have only two seats.
Hope that help explain myself better..But the fact of the matter is that the more i researched the subject the more my feeling changed. I kind of felt the SS was a muscle car...but I was totally officially wrong.
