When has anyone considered the V-6 Camaro a "muscle car"? By definition, a muscle car is usually a manufacturer's most powerful and largest engine stuffed into it's lightest chasis. The only V-6 GM cars that I would apply the
term "muscle car" to, would be the Buick Grand National/T-type or GNXes of the 1980's. Not trying to start an engine war either, just stating a few facts. By the way, I had two gen 4 LS1's, a 305 HP Z-28 and a 325 HP SS and the current Camaro V-6's would not run with these cars. They were both low thirteens at the dragstrip in stock condition. I do not mean magazine times, I mean that is what I was turning.
