Actually, the Mustang, Camaro, and Firebird aren't considered muscle cars. They are considered pony cars. But often get grouped with the Muscle cars because they were popular from the same era.

The GTO is a Muscle Car, the 04 and 05 GTO's fall into the same catagory as well.

Buick GS/GSX, GTO, Chevelle, Fairlane, Charger, Challenger, Superbird, etc..those are muscle cars.

That is what the purists say. Personally I don't really care. As long as its RWD, looks "muscle", and makes a boat load of torque (Buick Grand Nationa 3.8L Turbo v6) then I don't really care.
