Maybe for the sake of heritage it can be called that...


Agreed, no matter how close we make the car look like it's 1st generation (hint, hint... challenger)... these are machines of the 21st century. Muscle and Pony were terms used in their day, to describe the vehicles of the day.

The Camaro of today is closer to a Cadillac then the bare bones of it's ancestors. In that definition of Pony car from Wikipedia it said "relatively light"... we'll I argue these cars aren’t relatively light. (it takes 300-400hp to make ‘em get up n' go)

Let's just name it what ever you want... it's your Camaro! I just call mine 'the monster'... and !
