The Corvette was never a muscle car by definition though. Of course the rest of the world thinks any American performance car with a V8 is a "muscle car" but that is their ignorance. Anyway it is all pointless. The current Vette is beast on the track and it can back it up.

that's because American magazines are usually biased for American cars.
they compared the ZR1 to the Nissan GT-R. not the standard C6 or the Z06 which are a much closer price comparison because the GT-R would blow them away.
another example is the infamous motor trend video circulating around here. an APEXING Mustang is keeping up with a DRIFTING BMW M3 and then they say it's just as fast. uh huh... until the M3 starts trying of course but that doesn't get mentioned. and then you have dumbasses saying but lap times are lap times. ok so if I lap the track quicker on my bicycle because the car is doing 5 mph is my bicycle always considered faster?
magazine writers are biased and car companies pamper them to get good reviews.
of course they compare the Crap7 against a 100k car! That'll make it look great! compare it to a 54k Mercedes and the lack of everything but horsepower will make it look like ****. It's trickery.
