Is a grand prix considered a sports car?

Answer
No, the Pontiac Grand Prix was never a sports car. At best, the early models from the 1960's and 1970's was a luxury touring coupe, and the most recent models were just a fancy trim package on the basic mid-sized Pontiac sedan.

Is the 1999 Viper a muscle car?

Yes we all know it's a sports car. Alot of sports car fall under the muscle car category and vice versa. And if it isn't a Muscle car and rather a Super car or exotic car of that time then wouldn't that mean the 1999 Saleen Mustang S351 is a car of that class. This Mustang is superior to the Viper GTS.
Viper GTS
Hp: 460
Torque: 490
0-60mph: 4.6 seconds
Top Speed 185 mph

Saleen S351:
Hp: 495
Torque: 490
0-60mph: 4.4 seconds
Top Speed: 190 mph



Answer
Bobby Jim nailed it. Neither are muscle cars.

Muscle cars were mid-size vehicles from the 1960's with large displacement engines. The Pontiac GTO is a prime example.

The Mustang was a "Pony Car." Long nose, short deck, small to medium sized. Other examples are the GM F-bodies and the Plymouth Barracuda.
