Put two men side by side, one is older can only bench 300 pounds. Then put a younger man next to him looks smaller but can lift slightly more than him. Guess who looks like a body builder and guess which one doesnt, but can lift more?

Then again, I'm not sure why any of you would want to associate your 5th gens with muscle cars. My car is better than that.

Your Muscle Cars back then did nothing that our Muscle Cars now can't do better. We have smaller engines making more HP and TQ than some of your big blocks on top of being more fuel efficient and putting out less emissions despite having more restrictions. We have lighter bodies that accelerate faster and have higher top speeds. We handle better, brake better, our transmissions shift quicker and stronger and are more durable, and we don't need to rev at 4,000 RPMs while going 40 MPH. What did you guys have back then? Turbo 350 and Turbo 400 transmissions? 4 speed manuals with no overdrive? LOL! Come on man. We have 6 and 7 speed manuals. We have more creature comforts, more options, our cars are more reliable in all weather conditions, can drive in rain and snow without tire chains or sand bags in the trunk. Shall I continue? So by your definition, how are our modern V8 Camaros NOT Muscle Cars? There is literally not one category where the old Muscle Cars can out perform our new Muscle Cars.
