Yup. John Z. Delorean created the muscle car when he broke GM's rules of engine size in relation to car size and put a full-size car's engine in a mid-size car...the LeMans's GTO package. The best $296 anyone could have spent in 1964.
The Pony cars were supposed to be small personal coupes, but when you use the GTO formula on them, they got the Muscle car moniker as well.
