While I agree with everything you posted, is there a question in there somewhere?

Oh, and Robert: The Corvette was never a muscle car. The term came from a mid sized car with a full size engine. The Corvette was a sports car, but really in a category of its own when the really big motors came into play. And the hemis came later...

I believe the Corvette was the first true muscle car or the first 426 HEMIS
