Still not buying it. The original was a pony car, the one's we have now are muscle cars.

I like this wiki although I don't fully agree with it. Its still sums up the past well to me.

Well you're wrong. The mustang has always been a pony car. You thinking otherwise does not change facts. But, I guess you are entitled to your opinion.

I guess you could call it the new generation muscle car. It's not a sports car no matter how many comparsions you post. I've owned 6 mustangs and two corvettes and the vette is a sports car.

Us old folk still call it a Pony car. In my younger days Muscle cars were larger than todays full sized sedan hence Mustang, Camaro etc. got the tag of Pony car.

Thanks 5 Dot 0

Took post number 22, before the viper even got a mention.

Never looked up any definitions for pony, muscle, sports etc, but think of 2-seaters as sports cars. The S197 is a brick aerodynamically. Doesn't matter how much hp, striping, or macho names you add, still not a sports.
