Interesting thing about American (so called) muscle cars is just how little muscle they actually have. Most US cars would die a quick embarrassing death on a German Autobahn and it seems to be widely recognised that US cars suck big time... I think the only ones people want (except for fanatical collectors) is the Hummer Jeep because that really is a muscle car... Something like 4 tons, but it can still dig itself out of a bog...
So there you are - Muscle car in American = large noisy wagon named after a wild horse or a poisonous snake. But for the rest of the world, its a small child in his pram with a fake steering wheel attached.
In other words, and oxymoron.
What can I tell you, Germans make the best cars, followed by the Japs and then the Italians (somewhere down the list if French too, but lets not got there)...
