Do you consider Tesla a "Modern Muscle" car?

The teamspeed categories are a little limited on this one.

The Tesla Roadster may be the only modern American sports car worth talking about that doesn't have a pound of muscle in it's whole body. Personally, I love the car (even though I've got a Viper). Regardless, wanted to share this story on a friend's Tesla Roadster. He is very active in the Washington DC sports car/exotic scene.

Not any day of the week. I think of it more as a really bad night at 'revenge of the nerds' where too many white russians were drank.

No V8 no muscle car.

^^^ what about a V10?

No.

Muscle car is as more about the sound, smell and looks than it is about acceleration.

Teslas may have some serious scoot, but they are not a muscle car.

A Tesla is a fast golf cart. No V8, no muscle
