if people will call a LC/LJ XU1 as a muscle car I have no problem calling a mustang with an Ecoboost 2L turbo a muscle car considering the Ecoboost is more powerful then a 202.

I have no issue with 4 cylinder Mustangs or even Falcons, but they are NOT muscle cars and should not ever be mistaken as one.

Sounds like a limp wristed pussy car, not a muscle car.

Wasn't that long ago, 2009 IIRC, Mustang still came with a ~200hp V6 as a base model. Now this Ecoboost I4 model will likely be 240HP minimum, and could go as high as 300hp.
Sure, don't call it a muscle car, but a Mustang was never really a muscle car anyway. Neither was the Corvette. It was a pony car which was a class of its own in the 60's. |
