kennythebombThe 'general public' may not agree with me that a Corvette is a muscle car, but it sure as hell competed on the same dragstrips as all the other cars you mentioned. Slap the 427 big block in and you have a formidable muscle car. I don't know whether your post is by personal observation or from some sort of reference, but I, and most people would consider most Corvettes as a muscle car. Granted, the earliest ones were much BETTER classed as sports cars but as years went on those lines blurred.
Not only the general public but the trade mags have never classed the Corvette as a muscle car. Granted, because of it's light weight it made a GREAT drag car and die hard Vette lovers will always classify the Vette as a muscle car. It was never produced as a muscle car and factory fresh it never will be classified as a muscle car. Ask anyone in the trade and they will tell you that "officially" the Vette is a sports car with a lot of beef under the hood. But then so is most any Ferrari, or Pantera, or Countach, or Aston Martin or even the only Swiss car manufacturer Monteverdi who put MOPAR 383 engines in most of his cars.
I'm not discounting the Vette. It seems to be a matter of opinion whether or not it's a muscle car. To some it is and to others it isn't. "Officially" it isn't. But don't let that stop folks from sending in pictures of their Vettes.
My post is from YEARS of hanging around, working on, building and playing with muscle cars and guys and gals who do/did the same.
And thanks for the kind words.
BTW: This is what I have sitting in the driveway
1966 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S, Commando 273 cu in engine, 235 hp, 4 speed tranny, all factory. 1 of 3,000 built in 1966. 0-60 mph in about 6 secs. Not bad for a 39 year old red head.

Sorry, I'm not anywhere near as good with a fishing rod as I am with a wrench. Yes, the old lady has been fairly successful in garnering a little hardware in the 7 years that I've had her. There has been some more added to that collection since the picture was taken.

Sorry, didn't mean to get so far off subject.

Don't worry, friendly commentary is cool, I like to know little details anyway. Did you restore the Cuda anyway or was it already in concours condition?

If the Ford GT is by no stretch of the imagination a muscle car. Unless everything with a V8 is, in which case my GMC Yukon XL is a muscle car. 
The Corvette also technically isn't a muscle car, as has been pointed out, and the mustang, camaro, firebird, and barracuda are generally considered pony cars as they are slightly smaller than the generally accepted muscle cars. This was also mentioned, but just to clarify It was the mid-sized large-engined cars that were considered muscle cars The ones raced in Nascar and the like back when it really was stock car racing 💡 Not that I have any problem with pony cars 
I do have a problem with modern sports/supercars being called muscle cars though. Maybe I'll post pics of my Viper in here, it's more muscle car than the Ford GT

Nice selection. There's some funky color things going on in the 2nd picture - in the middle of the grill and by the hood scoop. Did you add that in?

That's great, but if I start defining 'muscle car' as a purist then I have little to no entries. I agree a Ford GT is not a muscle car but it is close enough for this competition. A pony car is a muscle car in my book. Can we please not discuss the veritability of supposed cars or define this anymore? Thanks.

I've edited my post on page one and put my pics up there. Only three pics for me, and no photoshopping either.
