Apparently, you didn't read the article all the way, and BTW I've read that article before. Here's a recap for the mentally challenged.

Muscle car is a term used to refer to a variety of high performance automobiles.[1][2] The term principally refers to American, Australian and to a lesser extent South African models. It generally describes a 2-door rear wheel drive mid-size car with a large, powerful V8 engine, and at an affordable price. Although opinions vary, it is generally accepted that classic muscle cars were produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s.[3][4][5][6] Muscle cars were built for street use and in some cases racing. They are distinct from sports cars and also from GTs, which are two-seat or 2+2 cars intended for high-speed touring/road racing. These are not generally considered muscle cars owing to their small size, relatively high cost and specialty nature. (The two-seater AMC AMX may or may not be an exception: one source queries whether it qualifies as a true muscle car or pony car,[7] but also lists it among vehicles that fit the general interpretation of both categories.[8] AMC was "never shy" about describing the car as "a genuine sports car"[9] as it was relatively inexpensive).[3] For a definition from the muscle car era, a 2004 book refers the reader to an extract from Road Test magazine’s June 1967 issue: "Just what is a Muscle Car? 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 BIG engine in it [...] The Muscle Car is Charles Atlas kicking sand in the face of the 98 hp weakling." The book’s author adds 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[10] Opinions vary as to whether high-performance full-size cars, compacts, and pony cars qualify as muscle cars.[11] Classic muscle cars are also defined by age and country of origin. The term "muscle car" did not enter common usage until after production of the vehicles had essentially ended,[3] and American print media of the era commonly referred to them as "supercars".[12][13]


So where exactly is the mustang in this article? A powerful engine from FORD... Tell me you are joking right now. Yeah, if you bought a "special mach1 with a 429 in it!! Sorry, you fail, the mustang falls under economic sports car(as highlighted). Secondly, where does it say ANYTHING about a blower making it a muscle car. Muscle Cars are generally referred to as N/A motors with HUGE Horsepower, not the addition of a blower you CLOWN. Why don't you listen and learn before you run your mouth about something you obviously know nothing about(Google wikipedia look-up ). The "large" motors at an affordable price? Ford doesn't apply you "IDIOT"!! Anytime there is a big motor in a ford (past or present), it's a special edition, why don't you look up how many 429 Boss mach 1's there are, or how many 428 CJ's were made( special low production, doesn't apply). You just stepped in my backyard kid, I OWN A REAL MUSCLE CAR and have had SO MANY NEW FISH. You think because it says "american" car it makes the average mustang a muscle car. That's hilarious, Nice Job announcing your ignorance. If I were as stupid as you, I'd S-T-F-U so nobody would know about it!! DONE!!

P.S I guess every "american" mid-sized rear wheel drive car is a "MUSCLE CAR"!!

Ford put a supercharger on the 4.6 just to barely compete with Chevy!! A few bolt ons' done DEAL!! Thanks for making my point about a "special" edition mustang, just to compete with a n/a 350 LS1!!

Actually, a muscle car is referred to how large the engine is... at an affordable cost YOU JACKASS. I like how you read an article, then put it in YOUR OWN context!!

I have a V6 because I didn't want to need a new block when making over 600 hp. :stir:

...and? It's not like the transmission and rear end holds more than half.[8D]



they probably do, don't they?

I love the arguement "The 3.8 block has never been broken" or "no amount of power have ever made the 3.8 block crack like the 5.0's."

Wow. Wonderful. Strong block. All that junk inside the block doesn't matter, though, right? That's all extra. As long as the block is really strong.

The 3.8 block has never been pushed to what the 4.6 and 5.0 blocks have. There have been many 4.6 and 5.0 engines pushed upwards of 900 horsepower; no 3.8 has ever made it to that point, yet.
