Pony...a small horse...not a good nic name for a car. Mustang is a small wild horse and started the so called "pony car" craze in the early 60s'. The 60's Camaro's were bigger the Callenger's/Chargers even larger still. Muscle car refers to "under the hood"...engine size/displacement, HP, torque and how fast. Pony, a small horse can't run with throughbreds....the Camaro, Charger/Challenger and yes, even some Mustangs are throughbreds or MUSCLE CARS. A 426 HEMI or 350 Chevy small block or a 351 Cleveland....yeah...thats muscle!
