True. But generally when I hear the term "muscle car" I think of a 1969 Mustang or 1970 Charger or something. And "classic" I think of any really old car that stood out from the crowd for whatever reason, but now seems to get applied to every car at 25 years old or more.
Still, like them or hate them, you have to admire Ford and GM for at least making their newer Camaros and Mustangs look very like their originals from their most famous time period, despite being modern cars.
I think its all subjective really, but there are some cars that can definitely be described as they commonly are. Here's a funny one though - what would you call a 1990's Dodge Viper? People I ask say it's a modern-ish "sports car". Other say it is a classic muscle car in every right. What do you all think?
