    By the way, that's just my fair of name-game playing. There is no longer a rule of categorization that would cater for these cars anymore.
    In what way is the Viper a muscle car?
    Its the very definition of a sports car: built ground up performer, 2 seater convertable, RWD, independent suspension.

    I agree more with what you said, but a possible explanation is the massive brutal engine, virtually flat powerbands, drag race loving masochist-mobile?

    Muscle cars have back seats, solid rear axles, bad chassis, V8s, and crappy brakes.

    The previous Mustang Cobra had IRS. Does that prevent it from being a muscle car? And the Challenger and Camaro will probably have IRS too, won't they be muscle cars?

    out of those list possibly the Viper and the Z06 and the R8 could be qualified as some sorts of a sportscar. The others are just cars with powerful engines and two doors and a sort of luxury equipment that a true sportscar does not need....
    Current real sportscars: Lotus Elise, Donkervoort, Caterham, Morgan Plus 6, BMW Z4M,

    Oh and I can't believe you classify the R8 as a sportscar but not the 8C.
