Because that's essentially where the expression came from & therefore the archetypal 'Muscle-Cars' are American

There's one major rule for a 'Muscle Car'; a stonking V8 :D
Okay, here's the British contingent
Aston-Martins (all the V8 models)
TVR  450SEAC, Chimera 450, Griffith 500, Cerbera 4.5 (discount the Sagaris & Tuscan as they're 6-cylinders)
Jenson Interceptor (FF is cool)
Bentley Arnage & Continental T

From the Antipodes;
Holden Commodore & Monaro

South Africa;
Ford Pirahna ( 5.0 V8 Capri)

Yeah the ozzys get the good engines and we get 2.8s and 3.0 ??
I reckon a senetor with a 5.7 V8 would do ! 8)
That MG thing is a bit TT ish with a bigger lump. Would make a good jelly mould though. :lol:  Muscle cars need to have a soul to count. A soul comes from within. Engine note, chassis flex,  :shock:

Was a guy a few years ago who had a collection round this area including a GT500, a Superbird, a true Chevy Stingray both convertable and hardtop and a real 7.2ltr Cobra to name just a few. His son took me out in the GT500 , talk about axle tramp but boy did it sound awesome and when it did stop tramping it was pretty quick.

Are you kidding?? :shock:  :shock:

No-one could discount a 427 Cobra.
Admittedly it's not a saloon/coupe bosy style, but 7litres 'stuffed into a pint-pot' is a sure fire winner.
And as for the acceleration (0-100 in 8.8seconds, & probably less in a tuind version) & that wonderful noise :(biglove):

Not quite as pretty as the 289 though, which in itself is a giant-killer

With you all the way.  Just mean to say, they're sports cars really, not muscle cars.

Anything with a 427ci V8 that's the size of an MGB gets my vote. 8)

................but the Original Daytona Coupe.......if i had all the money in the world...... :lol:
