As for the Cadillac argument: it's not the horsepower that makes a muscle car. There's been lots of big power Cadillac's and Buick's and Oldsmobile's that maybe weren't classified as muscle cars.
A muscle car is an automobile with a high horse power engine, modest weight, capable of producing high levels of acceleration.[1] The term principally refers to American, Australian and South African models and generally describes a 2-door rear wheel drive mid-size car with a large, powerful V8 engine and special trim, intended for maximum torque on the street or in drag racing competition. It is distinguished from sports cars, which were customarily considered smaller, two-seat cars, or GTs, two-seat or 2+2 cars intended for high-speed touring and possibly road racing.WIKI

Would you still like to make that claim... Comparing past Z28's mean nothing, you are aware of what the old Z28 was right. Hint they were't the top of the line model or biggest engine.

Their's already a thread started about a camaro not being a muscle car.

We already learned it isn't. But they are very cute.

Sorry Azfan, I'm not sure that would be a step in the right direction. Maybe she should just pay you a visit instead!

Modest weight? Uh that eliminates the new SS.
The old Z28 wasn't top line. uh, okay. What was top line in 1979, 1989, 1999(oh yeah there was an SS that year, with the same engine as the Z28)

Damn, Kansas ranked in at 15!?!?!?! I feel REAL sorry for 16-50 now (thought we were bad in the IQ department).

The car IS badass. Maybe it's all the cuteness carrying over from the driver.

Go back and do some research on the Z28, it was never the biggest and fastest is was a upgrade package to suspension and other things to make it more then just a straight line car. The Z28 was never when introduced to be considered the top of the line car, thats why most don't understand why and if GM does bring the Z28 back they would make it more hp over the SS. The SS was always considered the top of the line dog, yeah it went away for awhile through a couple decades and made its return back on scene in the late 90s. Remember that a Z28 with the SS SLP option was still faster then the Z28 in the late 90s. But in no way was the Z28 EVER considered the top dog. The Z28 option was what the track pack is to the mustang.
