As far as I am concerned, muscle cars are more than alive. They never really died. I know that back in the 60s and 70s, the muscle cars were cars like: the Dodge Charger, the Plymouth Barracuda, the Plymouth Road Runner, the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustangs, and the Chevrolet Corvettes. Yes, Mustangs and Camaros were even considered muscle cars. Today the Mustang and Camaro fall under the Sports Car category to most people. Honestly to me, the Mustang and Camaro never stopped being muscle cars. Everything overall on the cars may have changed, like the material of the body or overall styling, but the cars still have options for higher performance like V-8 engines for example. The 80s, 90s and early 2000s brought many different style changes but now the auto manufacturers are starting to design the cars with the old styles in mind, using some of the old body lines. The 2010 Camaro, 2010 Mustang, and 2010 Challenger are just examples of cars with styling resembling some of the first generations.

I like how you know a lot about cars. I have no clue what certain cars look like or who makes them. It's quite sad, so hopefully my brother can teach me some basic facts, ha. Thanks to you, I now know some more about the Camaro and Mustang.
