  Muscle car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High-performance full-size or compact cars are arguably excluded from this category, as are the breed of compact sports coupes inspired by the Ford Mustang and typically known as pony cars, although few would dispute a big-block pony car's credentials as a muscle car.
This includes many cars that typically are not labeled as muscle cars, such as the B13 and B15 (1991-2006) Nissan Sentra SE-R and Spec-V, and excludes other cars typically labeled as muscle cars, such as the Dodge Viper.
Ironically, the original muscle cars of the 60's were subject to the same arguments that are used to criticise the SUV today.

 Muscle Car America - Muscle Car Directory of Information
Muscle cars are high-performance automobiles made primarily in Detroit from 1964 to 1974.
By 1971, muscle cars began to fall out of favor and disappear, with one of the last muscle car holdouts being Pontiac's Trans Am 1973 and 1974 SD455 model (while the SD455 was considered the last muscle car, the Trans Am nameplate continued until 2002).
Although the muscle cars' legendary speed on the straight-away was unmatched, most had primitive brakes and suspension (compared with modern vehicles and also European sports cars of the time), and tires which were inadequate to handle the acceleration and speeds the engines made capable.
