When you say muscle car you should be talking about Chevelle, Camaro, Chalanger,Mustang, Charger, Lemans Firebird, GTO. These are muscle cars not rice burners.

Careful, your bias (or ignorance) is showing again

I don't see any "muscle car" on the list you posted...

However if drivability is important to you there is only one car on the list that needs to be considered:

BMW

Nothing else comes close to it on handling and fun driving.

Correct do they know what a muscle car is.

But in same conditions 09+ maxima will handle corners + high speeds better than any mazda 6 or 3
its just more capable.
it would be more fair to compare mazda 6 / altima and mazda 3 / sentra

So the fwd maxima will out perform the awd turbo mazda6?

BMW is German muscle

Love my 05 Magnum R/T and consider it sleeper/muscle. Stepping on the right pedal puts a smile on your face, is a delight to the ears, and room in the back forall your stuff (like 7' fishing rod and tackle). Hang on.. also very low cost of ownership (except it has an appetite for fuel and rubber..)

Pacifica is out of place on the list and have heard only terrible things about them.

No Challenger in the list?
good luck!

the newer maximas have close to 300 HP while the new mazda6 barely cracks 170

the only case where a mazda6 will outperform a maxima is if it is the mazdaspeed 6 made from 2006-2007

and i think the mazdaspeed 6 is the only one with AWD the regular 6's are FWD just like the maxima

I recommend the mazdaspeed 6 though it is a great car and can be had for around 10k now

Im not disagreeing with you. But The BMW is faster than the Camaro, with the addition of being heavier. Im positive the interior is better in the BMW, and has more creature comforts.

The video was comparing American classics to later euro sports cars, except the Camaro and 6 series.

Again, im not disagreeing, im just saying..
