Default Re: Is a corvette a musclecar?

They always tended to be stuck in the sports car category but didn't fit. Corvettes and Cobras were in a class of their own. They didn't really fit in with the English or the European cars. Some sure had the muscle though. The new 427 is no exception. Anything that will run mid elevens on street tires is a musclecar in my books. Beare Motors sold an L88 Vette in '69. I heard it running and the car had MUSCLECAR written all over it. My old 427 sounded pretty tame by comparison.
