Technically it's a sport coupe. You will not find a automobile classification of a muscle car or pony car listed anywhere as far as I know on places like a manufactures website, Kelly Blue Book, your local tax office or places of that nature.
Muscle car and pony car are more or less nicknames given to these types of cars. I could be wrong but this is my understanding of it all.

If a car's main purpose is to go "Vroom," I call it a sports car. No need to be picky.

The creator calls it the " 21st century SPORTS CAR. "
GM calls it a sports car so that is what it is.

I think, to be considered a muscle car, it has to have a bloodline from the 60's and early 70's AND has to be American! I certainly consider the camaro an American Muscle Car. I consider the 911, M3, 240z-370z, Ferrari, Lambo, etal, sportscars.

I totally consider it to be a sports car through and through. Though I would also call it "neo-muscle".

Basically I believe all cars regardless of # of doors, size, etc. that are able to accelerate fast, are fun to drive, and well just flat out PERFORM can be considered a sports car and that includes the Camaro since its just plain badass. |

It's a musclecar, plain and simple. This generation- of all those preceding it, most obviously has it's roots growing in plain sight. Even if you don't consider new cars to be "muscle" just have a look at a side-by-side with a first gen, and you'll see. Unmistakably a musclecar. Hell, I even consider my 4th gen a musclecar. Structure, heritage and attitude all make Camaro what it is, and those things haven't wavered a bit from 67 to 2002, and now in 2010 the muscle continues to flex!

When I hear sports car, I think road racing. When I hear muscle car, I think drag racing. When I hear pony, just Mustang. When I hear "neo-muscle" maybe. The Camaro has always been "one of a kind" (in my book) and really needs a term of it's own. Any other ideas Like someone else said before, it's a CAMARO!!!!!!
