Stirring the pot..... but...
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't a Camaro considered a pony car and not a muscle car?
Thus the Boss429, COPO's etc are in a different class than what is being discussed, ie muscle cars? Whereas a vette was a sports car?
Even though the barracuda was first, I think it was mustang that started the whole pony car thing.
I'm glad "pony car" stuck because the term "fish car" totally sucks.
