Default Would a classic crown victoria be considered a muscle car?

What I'm primarily talking about are the Crown Victorias from the late 80's. According to wikipedia a "muscle car" is basically a mid-sized american car with a high-powered engine and a high-torque drivetrain. The Vics of the era were used as police cars, and were all equipped with high-end V8's. And from personal experience I know they possess quite a bit of torque as well. Yet whenever I hear talk of the Vics they are always referred to as luxury cars.Anywho, this is a poll: so say your opinion: Crown Victorias from the late 80's: Luxury or Muscle Car?

Middle-priced luxury? Perhaps! Muscle car? No way!

A muscle car must: be built between 1960 and 1973, have a V8, have 2 doors, and be RWD. Hot rod sure, but not a muscle car.

Plenty of luxury cars have large torquey engines from Cadi's to BMW's. Muscle cars have a distinct ominous look to them, not just beefy engines.Crown Vic = Luxury Car

no ,nothing in the luxury line of cars is considered to be a muscle car,and one of that size wouldn't fit the category anyway,good luck on it.

Tanks, which were selected by the police for their comfort and size, not their speed in the quarter mile. A lot of police departments drove Mustangs, until the discomfort of long hours in a cramped car, changed their minds about what a good cruiser was.

Could be both. Find one with all the police accessories still on & in the motor and you'll have a muscle car. But good luck finding one that hasn't been put back to normal for street driving. They usually strip them to make them legal for normal street use.
