Default Family/Pony/Sport Car, Muscle Car, Super Car

For readability, I'm leaving out the use of quote.

Q: What makes a muscle car?

A: It comes down to the power-to-weight ratio. If you have a big engine or a lot of horsepower in a small or medium-size car, that is a muscle car.

By that definition, my generalization would be:

A Corvette with a 327 or 350 is a sports car. A Corvette with a 396, 427, 454 is a muscle car. A Corvette with a ZL1 is a super car.

A Camaro with a 327 or 350 is a pony car. A Camaro with a 307 or 396 is a muscle car. A COPO or ZL1 Camaro is a super car.

A Nova or Chevelle with a 327 or 350 is a family car. A Nova or Chevelle with a 396, 427, 454 is a muscle car. A COPO Nova or Chevelle is a super car.
