I guess you could call my Jeep a muscle car. It went from an over 8 second 0-60 with the regular 318 (5.2 liter) V8, to 6.8 seconds with the 360 (5.9 liter) in the special edition I have. Of course, the brakes are still puny, and it still handles like a Jeep. Just more incentive to drive slower and more gently, I guess. Maybe if it handled in a way that enticed me to use all the power, I'd be getting the 8 or 9 mpg people tend to expect when they hear the size of the engine.
