Are Ford Mustangs a sports car or a muscle car?

Well if it has a 6 cyl. Engine in it then for sure its not a muscle car, now is it?

Neither. They were originally called "Pony Cars"

The current generation of them definitely fall into the "Muscle Car" class.

Mustangs have never been considered "Sports Cars". Sports cars do not have a back seat in the opinion of sports car aficionados. Sports cars were originally race cars modified to be street legal with the addition of such safety items as headlights, turn signals and comfort items such as heat, cushier seats, padding on the doors and carpet.
