Message I am tempted to say that any motor that is designated in Liters is "Sport
Compact" and motors that are identified by cubic inches are "Muscle". I think it
comes down to technology. And since it's getting harder and harder to
distinguish on that basis, perhaps there shouldn't be any separation at all,
especially since dyno competition doesn't mean anything. It's all about how
much weight you have to move around with the power you have. Little else
matters.

Another categorization that I like is domestic vs. import. That's how they do it
at San Antonio Raceway.

Yet, another way of looking at it, would be to say that "Muscle" should be
anything with a V8 or larger.

For example the new M3 would be muscle, but the 335i (twin turbo V6) would
be sport.
The current Audi S4 would be muscle, but the new S4 (direct injected
supercharged V6) would be sport.
The Supra would be sport, even with 1000+ hp as would all Mitsubishis, the
Neon SRT4, the Cobalt SS, all Hondas, all Acuras, as well as V6 Camaros,
Mustangs, Chargers, and Pontiacs.
