Your views On The Definition of Muscle Car?

By David Ashton

I have written a few articles in the past on the definition of a muscle car, mostly for my own information but also because of the numerous arguments I have had over the years about what is or isn’t a muscle car, or even a pony car for that matter.

The reason for writing this post is to really get everybody’s else own personal views on the definition. It doesn’t matter how dictionary correct the viewpoint is, we would just like your own point of view. Especially with one of the posts below I wrote from the experience I had trying to update the muscle car Wikipedia page. The page stated that the definition of a muscle car came out from the supercar. If this is right or wrong would need more clarification, but the editors of the page have a tight stranglehold on the information.
In not too much of a summary, the term muscle car has no one point of origin and if you read the articles below, there are numerous sources for where it originated.

Please check out the two articles below and then comment on your own experiences for where the definition came from. It would be great to get a complete as possible list of all possible points of origin for the term.
Alternatively, you can search the website to find out tons of information on muscle cars in general.
