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.

muscle car? smoke more.

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
