According to Muscle Cars, a book written by Peter Henshaw, a "muscle car" is "exactly what the name implies. It is a product of the American car industry adhering to the hot rodder's philosophy of taking a small car and putting a large-displacement engine in it. The Muscle Car is Charles Atlas kicking sand in the face of the 98 horsepower weakling."[7] Henshaw further asserts that the muscle car was designed for straight-line speed, and did not have the "sophisticated chassis", "engineering integrity", or "lithe appearance" of European high-performance cars.[7]

And then.....the GTO....could fall in the same categories as those mentioned....but definitely a muscle car...and my dream car.
So I do not think your definition is all inclusive or properly exclusive.

Just picking on the definition....a Corvette would not fit your definition....you run from the debate? Just saying....I think that a Muscle car can be ANYTHING....if it is made into a muscle car.
And THIS is sexy....
