Right? I feel like I walked into a coffee/barber shop. I thought I might read something interesting but nope.

I think that it's very interesting how different "Car Guys" view what a "traditional" Muscle Car is.
Ya know, I used to race a 1985 Pontiac Sunbird Turbo. It was fun and pretty fast. In the 1985 model year, the Turbo Sunbird WAS the fastest Pontiac body style period. I don't know if it's a Muscle Car though.

Barber shop not necessary for many of us that lived thru the “muscle car” era

Sorry if my post went a bit off the rails, I was just reminiscing and got off the main question

The big cars are rarely raced in the modern era of Stock but they certainly were at one time.

Back in early 70s, we were at the Saturday night street races with a 70 350 LT1 Camaro and a 67 396 375 chevelle, a guy showed up with a white 1963 Ford Galaxy with a 406 3 duece Thunderbolt and schooled us on what a muscle car was.
