Default What is a Japanese Muscle Car?

upon further thought, i was not sure what would classify as a japanese muscle car. the gobs of power argument kinda gets tossed given the gentlemans agreement. so a point that 'there are no true japanese muscle cars' stands to question.

what is the definition of a muscle car? the style of the car? the time period and amount of crude power? must it be carburated? must it be a v8 and have massive displacement?

how would these requisites fit into the japanese makes?

i would think supra, skyline, z cars, and rx7 would be the closest. but if it must have massive amounts of displacement or 8 cylinders then i guess these guys are out aswell.

but then is there such a thing as a modern muscle car? somewhere for the 350z, sti, and evo to call home.

i think this is a good topic, since it is mostly subjective
