My Grandfather and I. It originally had a 307. This was my high school car, so Grandpa had a 327 , we built it and put her in.

Jeez, guess if the V6 isn't a muscle car what did us V6'ers buy?

The Camaro should be a muscle car regardless of the engine... it's just the class it belongs in. Same goes for the Mustang, Challenger, and the classics as well.

That's the problem with one car having different engines, the people who own the V8's are always looking down on the V6's, and the V6's are always looking down on the 4-bangers.

Any good points to throw back at him to support that it is?

The poor V6 gets no respect. Now after running a 13.9 in the 1/4 mile, I have new respect for my little 6.

I can only relate to when I owned a 67 GTO many years ago that ran 14.7 in the 1/4.

The muscle is in your head.

i would say the v6 camaro's are considered pony cars. the term pony car was created when mustang came out with their v6. pony cars were considered smaller engine cars, youth-oriented (price wise), and had a large range of options to individualize.

So I guess a 420hp Porsche is a muscle car then?

Totally agree 67 GTO. You sound like a guy made in my image.

i'm pretty sure people here have an understanding that HP has nothing to do with a car being a muscle car or not.
