Erm... the GTO is a muscle car...

That can go both ways. The thing is though, the GTO is Australia. Made in Australia and imported to America.

The sad thing too, is the Camaro is going to go the same route. Designed in Australia, built there and is going to be shipped here. Same thing for the new GTO which will be made in the same plants as the Camaro.

I think that it is a muscle car, but not a true muscle car. Plus it only started looking aggressive and muscleish when they added the scoops on the LS2 models.

I think that there could be some V6 muscle capable motors. It was only used in trucks (S-10/Blazer/S-15), but the 4.3L motor. Another thing about American muscle motors is that they are extremely customizable and can make sum serious power with just a few simple part swaps and can handle a bunch of psi stock. And this 4.3L does just that. Just was never used in a car application, but if it was I think that this motor could qualify for American Muscle.
