It's a opinion and for me hell no. if that's the case a Toyota supra is a
muscle car, even a Hyundai sonata qualifies than

Okay you feel that 4 cyl hunk of junk is comparable to a 442. how about I
swap you the front wheel hunk of junk we have at the shop for a nice 69
442.
Since it ranks right up there.
Just think how cool it would look with 60 series tires in the rear and
50's
up front for traction.
The noise the of the timeing chain guids rattling after 80,000 miles.
And
the 1-1/8 split in the rear for that fake dual exhaust look while it
idles
so rough do being worn out. Where my 442 idled rough do to the cam choice.
Lets not forget the oil it burns do to clogged pcv system.
At changing the starter is not a problem due to exhaust .the intake is
just
in the way. Lol
But it's a 442
Well, I'm not saying it wouldn't have its issues, but then, many cars do.
Also, think of the era when that engine was developed, and when the car
came out.
Would I prefer a Calais 442 FWD to a real RWD one, even the relatively
anemic 307 versions? Hell no! But, does the Calais 442 FWD qualify to be
considered a musclecar? Well, maybe yes.
