I assume you are referring to the JGTC Muscle Machines.
They look to me to be indeed larger than 1/64, closer in size of Jada's Option D cars. However the detail of these cars is incredible enough that there is no way I would keep them out of my collection.

No Muscle Machines are 1/64th scale. Their claim to that size was purely a marketing ploy. Their actual scale (for the cars) is about 1/50 or even a little larger. The military vehicles obviously are a little smaller.

They say the true 1/64 Car is the JL but HW/MB come close
RC are close to 1/64
Jada 1/55 from 2000 up .....1999 were close too 1/64
Maisto 1/87 in some Cars to 1/64
MM's 1/55
HW G Machines 1/50
Pixar CARS 1/55

I dont find JL to be true 1/64. Just compare a Cobra to a Talledega.
For the U.S. brands I find GL and 100% HW to be most consistent with scale.
This is among many reasons I just try to collect within a range: Jada BTM to MB Hearse.

I agree -looked this one over and looks like around 1/50 or 1/55... these JGTC cars were some of the coolest things MM did.... if u like Imports... very realistic, but I never took this one out of the package and some said they didn't roll very well. There were also other MM Celicas and Subarus, the highly modified and more cartoon-y ones... maybe he is talkin about those
