well Muscle cars were 2-door, 4 seater's with large V8's shoehorned under the hood that made huge loads of power and Torque.
the GT-40 was a homologation special Race Car that was slated into the Sports car category as in 2-door, 2-seater high HP car.
So the Corvette isn't really a Muscle Car either it's the "True American Sports Car"
