Muscle car is probably a American term, but i think Toranas are part of Australian racing history, and are classed as tough. Like Craig said.

HK-T-G Monaros

L34+A9X+V8 hatchback variants

V8 Chargers

Ford GT's (preferably coupes)

 

6 cyls ain't muscle 

 

 

 

Muscle car is an American term used to refer to a variety of high-performanceautomobiles.[1] The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines muscle cars as "any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving."[2] A large V8 engine is fitted in a 2-door, rear wheel drive, family-style mid-size or full-size cardesigned for four or more passengers. Sold at an affordable price, muscle cars are intended for street use and occasionaldrag racing.[3][4][5][6] They are distinct from two-seat sports carsand expensive 2+2 GTs intended for high-speed touring androad racing. Developed to meet specific market requirements, muscle cars also emerged from manufacturers in Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere.

Its all just wishful thinking.

The good news is fraud never made one here either. The closest they got was a 4door taxi, and no 4 door could be considered a muscle car.

No fat arse foulcan could pull a sailor off yer sister, so shit out of luck there.

The closest we got was a 350HT. but no Torana ever deserved to be called a muscle car.

In a rice pudding skin pulling contest, most would get smoked by an Austin Kimberley.
