Inspired by the other thread, which I thought provided some interesting takes on the classification of the late second gen Camaro. This is of particular interest to me since I own one.

Some have made the case for or againstdefining the late second gen Camaro as a muscle car, but let us now discuss defining it as a sports car.

To start off here is my own somewhat uneducated speculation: I think it's fair to class it as a "strong sports car"...Due to it's wide availability, heavy weight, yet superior handling and less vicious engine factory options. Defining it as a pony is a given.

 

Id say the any camaro is a strong sports car, as they put performance and general driveability over gas mileage and grocery capacity, unlike most of themuscle cars the big three aretrying to bring back now.

 

No, I'd stick with the designation pony car.

 

I thought being a pony car was a given due to it's traditionally Mustang-esque dimensions, and that seperately it could be designated a muscle or a sports.
