The fact that it was not 300HP + does not disqualify it from the muscle category....
Dunno about Stangs being introduced as a women car... but the V6 Camaro definitely was...

Muscle cars have been around... they have not gone anywhere... 4.6L Mustang is a muscle car.... It is only on the last few years that technology has advanced and they are able to squeeze 300HP+ out of a V6 engine... Camaro introduced this.... the rest just followed.... and this was only in 2011 and even being 300HP+ V6 camaro is not a Muscle Car.... just looks like one...

You can call it what you want, the old 5.0 from Ford has been outclassed by the import V6s for years until they introduced their all new V6 in 2010-2011
Seems you want to qualify the term muscle car by the # of cylinders, not the rated hp. Seems silly.

Nissan has been getting over 300hp out of their na V6s for some time now. The VQ30HR was rated at 303hp or so in 2007. When the VQ37HR motor was introduced the same year, it was rated at 333hp or so.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines muscle cars as "any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving."[2] A large V8 engine is fitted in a 2-door, rear wheel drive, family-style mid-size or full-size car designed for four or more passengers.

A 1970 Vette is north of 300+Hp and your 1992 Maxima is at 160Hp.
