There is an overlap, and some did call the 928 a German Mustang or Camaro, but other than rough zero to sixty speed they have very little in common.
Muscle era cars are almost all pre 70's gas crisis cars, 1960 to 1973 or so, a good 12 years older than the bulk of 928's.
Huge factory and third party manufacturers support the old muscle cars, and we have Porsche high prices and a tiny handful of individuals that support the 928.
Typical is a 68 Camaro that belongs to a friend of Greg's and shows up in the shop from time to time. Purchase price was very good for what it was, but more than double what many similar condition early 928's go for. Its bonehead simple to work on this car, parts are cheap with many options, and it goes like stink even as a daily driver. OTOH the driving experience etc is nothing like a 928.
