A sports car is built to go round a race track with speed and good handling. They are mostly two door coupes riding low. while Muscle cars are American cars with emphasis on speed/power over handling. They have big V8 engines hence the term "muscle" and they are mostly two door cars but also come in four doors like the Chevrolet Impala. Dodge Charger and the Cadillac CTS. CT5 & CT6 to name a few.

the difference is in handling for example if you're a movie fan, you would see the difference when you watch fast and furious just notice the car Dom drives and the car Brian drives then you should be able to have an idea of what each car does better Dom prefers muscle car and Brian prefers race cars and sporty car

Both handled well

muscle cars are built for straight brute power torque performance , the focus is in the engine.

Sporty car is focused on bringing engine power to work at maximum with suspension and handling.

Sporty csrs might not have a lot of power but handling is key.

Sport cars with low ground clearance absolutely no for a Naija,
excelent handling but they also got some of the most powerful engines, V8, V12, V16 etc


Muscle cars are all round vehicles

yes for Naija

mustang and shelby or cammaro on my mind, cool

Think better about your question. It's not difficult to understand that a sports car has everything designed for high speed. Sports cars are usually lower, with a streamlined shape, a more powerful engine, and a good cooling system. By the way, a six-cylinder engine can be in a maslkar if a person thinks about tuning it. As a kid, I collected toy cars. I've always had more sports cars among them. As an adult, I wanted to buy such a car or at least something that looks like a sports car. I'm not a fan of fast and dangerous driving. I just like the look and opportunities. So I read more about budget sports cars and bought a Mazda MX-5.

A straight six engine is a sports car

Sport cars are for windy tracks, muscle cars are for straight 0- 60s dragstrips.

In ideal conditions, they own their turfs. A muscle car will most likely win a drag race but won't see the tail lights of a sports car on a track.

The difference is in the handling and torque respectively.

Sports cars are typically designed with a focus on handling, agility, and speed. They often have lightweight bodies and a lower center of gravity, which allows them to take tight corners at high speeds. Sports cars also tend to have smaller engines that are optimized for high-performance driving, and they may feature advanced suspension and braking systems to help drivers maintain control in high-speed situations and also I regularly visit Vehiclered site to get quality sports car info there. Overall, the key difference between a sports car and a muscle car is their respective design philosophies, with sports cars prioritizing handling and speed, and muscle cars prioritizing raw power and acceleration.
