Is a corvette a musclecar?

[LS6 RAT]

I think some of you hit the nail on the head! A musclecar is one with an oversized engine. I believe that Corvettes can be considered a musclecar when equipped with the optional high performance power plant. Musclevettes would be '65 L78 396/425hp cars, then '66 L72 427/425hp cars, then '67 L71 427/435hp cars, then L88 427/430hp cars, then L89 427/435hp cars, then LS-6 454/425hp cars. With these engines the Corvette is not a well balanced sports car.
