So when I heard that ad, I was like "WHAT"!
I have no doubt that the letter cars and others such as the 409 Impalla were real performers, but muscle cars?

By this definition, wouldn't the 63 Tempest be the first muscle car? The GTO is huge by comparison and the Tempest has a much better PTW ratio.
