Vettes and Vipers aren't Muscle Cars they are American Sports Cars

they're making new camaros in 06' or 07' and the corvette and viper can be called american muscle. I could say that the mustang gt 500 is a sports car.

WRONG! the Corvette and Viper are classified as sports cars they have 2 seats and 2 doors making them a Sports car, GT500, Mustang, Camaro, GTO, etc... are Muscle cars, the premise behind the Muscle car is a simple formula, High HP engine, 2 doors, 4 seater, RWD affordable car. Muscle cars started life as cheaper coupe versions of large Sedans and then they started throwing larger and larger engines into them eventually spawning their own cars. The Corvette and Viper are designed as race cars never evolving from a different car they started life as a sports car and will end life the same way.
