On a side note Camaros/Firebirds/Mustangs are pony cars - the Corvette is a sports car. The strict definition of a muscle car is an intermediate sized, V8 powered car based on a regular production car - i.e., GTO, Road Runner, Charger, Fairlane, 442, Chevelle, GTX etc.

A friend of mine had a 98 cobra with springs, shocks, stiff front sway bar, subframe connectors, and UCA/LCA's and his car had no body roll at all. That thing could take corners amazingly fast. Plus he had Evo recaros in it, so the seat held onto you, unlike my stockers.
Here are a few pics from my first auto-x last year. Car did pretty well by my standards, I was only a second or two back from a friends modded WRX who had also autocrossed before.

Obviously my car is too new to qualify as a traditional muscle car.. Its a 78 Malibu, but it is a G-Body/A-Body and it is a Chevelle.. It is a Mid-Sized V8 powered 4 speed car with the F41 (Olds 442, Monte SS, etc) suspension upgrade from the factory..
