Pony cars are muscle cars [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&defl=en&q=define:Muscle+Car&sa=X&oi=glossary\_definition&ct=title](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&defl=en&q=define:Muscle+Car&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title) > Definitions of Muscle Car on the Web: > > Sometimes called “Pony Cars” too. Big giant V8 engines with super chargers and special exhaust created these gas-guzzlers that were really fast! Muscle cars reached their epitome in the 1960’s with the advent of the GTO, certain Mustangs, Camaro’s and some Chyrsler models like the Challenger, etc. Unfortunately the “energy crisis” killed this genre of cars. [http://t-ce.com/muscle-car-models.html](http://t-ce.com/muscle-car-models.html) So muslce car =oldschool…but there are modern musclecars which some argue are not true muscle cars but I feel they can be classified as american muscle ---

no, and no amount of interweb pages will change that fact. Pony cars are pony cars, not muscle cars. are pony cars just as desirable and fast as muscle cars, yes, but they are not muscle cars. ---

a true def of a muscle car is a 2 door, large displacement engine, intermediate size car. thats why they call the 64 GTO the first one. GM a-bodys, chrysler b-bodys. etc… modern muscle is something different ---

I see your arguement but if you look at the the definition (not some lame interweb) then f-bodies and stangs would fall into it. ---

that 2nd link had a galaxie as a muscle car and dusters, only with a certain engine. That’s a fucked up list. pony cars are different than muscle cars, IMHO. I would never consider a camaro a muscle car. ---

f-bodys are not intermediate size cars. i forgot some of the definition. 2door, RWD, full frame, intermediate size, large displacement. a duster back then was a compact. ---

> [@Gecz28](#): > > what about the 69 ZL1 Camaro/Yenko Camaro? no muscle there? it depends on who you talk to… most people say that muscle cars are bigger cars (like the chevelles) with big engines in them. i personally feel that old camaros, and mustangs are muscle cars… but i will refer to them as pony cars ---
