All cars below are ALL V8 (or larger) TRIM LEVELS only unless otherwise noted. All cars below are the PERFORMANCE BASED version of their counterparts if applicable. A Mustang is not performance based, nor is a Trailblazer - but the GT/Cobra and TBSS sure the hell are.
A car with an engine swap must have been available from the factory with a larger engine. Example: A focus was never offered with a V8 - so a 351W Focus would not make the cut. A fox body WAS offered with a V8 so a LX fox body with 03 Cobra drivetrain WOULD make the list. Even though the fox was not offered with the modular, it was offered with a V8 from the manufacturer.
These are some examples of what is a Muscle car... both classic and modern... If you own one of these (or you own something else that you think I missed) bring it to our next meeting.
