Ford Mustang.
Chevy Camaro.
Dodge Challenger.
No.
All the originals were discontinued or tragically revised (Mustang II). What’s out there today are all resurrected versions. They have tried to stay true to the original concept, which was high horsepower and big power to weight ratios, but emission and MPG requirements limit the comparison. Actually, today’s versions, depending on your criteria of “best’, with their improved safety Equipment and computerized engine efficiencies, may even be better.
What do you think? Answer below!
Ford Mustang,chevy camaro,plymouth baracuda,mercury cougar,pontiac firebird,AMC Javlin,Ramler The Machine,plymouth Duster. Some of those are long gone. Yes the Fusion,Charger,Impala are considered mid- size cars.
The “Pony Cars” that are manufactured by the big 3 are the Camero by GM, Mustang by Ford and the Challenger by Dodge. They have been rumored to be the cars Nascar might use in the future in the Nationwide Series but only a rumor.
