So, is the Camaro a "muscle car" or a "pony car" - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

.. just checking the wikipedia definitions for the two terms. It appears that the first Camaro was a "pony car", but the current Camaro would be a "muscle car" based on its size - given it is the same size as a "mid-sized" car.

What are your thoughts?

I've seen many on here stating its a muscle car

*Camaro_Corvette* · 03-25-2010, 02:45 PM

Either muscle car or pony car, I'll accept either.IMO

V8 = MUSCLE

V6 = PONY

LOL

Either is correct, just don't call it a "Maro" ...

irocnroll · 03-25-2010, 02:48 PM

Its neither, Its a sports car. Muscle cars died in the 70's.

I don't consider it a sports car. A Vette is a sports car. A Camaro, IMO, is a muscle car...
