Do muscle cars belong in GT racing?

Here's another pancake to toss up, and digest.

Muscle cars. Do they belong in GT racing? On one had you could say that they are too saloon like, but then you could say that they are too GT like to be in touring cars. Sure the Dodge Viper, Ford GT and Chevrolet Corvette race in GT, but they are sports cars with elements of muscle cars.

There are currently muscle cars in GT3, but what about GT2 or GT1? An Aston Martin is 4712mm long and 1270 mm high, but a Chevrolet Camaro is 4840 mm long and 1380 mm high, so size wise they are simliar. They even produce simliar amounts of horse power with the Camaro's GM L99 engine producing 400 bhp, while the Astons produces 470 bhp. So there are some simliarities between them and grand tourers, but both are aimed at different markets.

So where do they belong in motorsport?
