Default Re: How would you define a MUSCLE CAR?

is it just me or does american muscle cars have huge engines and not much power. ok they have more power than my polo but for example a BMW M3CSL has a 3.2l engine and chucks out roughly 350bhp (dont quote me tho) ,but certainly more than 100bhp per litre without the use of forced induction. (same story with some ferraris and im sure many more).

okay they have torque, but where is all the power going? or do they take the weight of the average american into account and give you a relative power figure
