Co., Everett, WA Lines: 15 This really is an interesting discussion of muscle vs. sports cars, but everything that Detroit makes is NOT a muscle car. The new 'Vette is an example. This car should be compared to exotic cars like a 928 or a 308GTB4 and the like. A muscle car is a '67 GTO or an early '70's Trans Am with a 454 (or whatever those humungous engines displaced). Even a new Z28 has a hard time justifying the muscle car label. Peter Barbee decvax-+-uw-beaver-+ ihnp4--+ allegra-+ ucbvax----lbl-csam-+--fluke!tron sun-+ ssc-vax-+
