	Muscle car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		High-performance full-size or compact cars are arguably excluded from this category, as are the breed of compact sports coupes inspired by the Ford Mustang and typically known as pony cars, although few would dispute a big-block pony car's credentials as a muscle car.
		While performance cars began to make a return in the 1980s, spiraling costs and complexity seem to have made the low-cost traditional muscle car a thing of the past.
		While purists would not consider a four-door sedan or station wagon a muscle car, the performance of the new models is the equal of many of the vintage muscle cars of legend.

	Can pony cars make a comeback? - 4Forums.com
		Car enthusasts, myself included, seem happy with the look of the new Mustang, but I have heard that average car buyers surveyed don't like it.
		If pony cars are to sell in any kinds of numbers they would have to be no more than 3,000 lbs in weight, and have a 3 liter V6 and efficient 4 liter V8, but no bigger than that.
		Cost would be a strong issue, the pony cars of the 60's and 70' were strongly based on other cars at the time.

		Forty years after its introduction as America’s first pony car, an automobile that was relatively small and tight-bodied for its era, the Ford Mustang now stands alone once again as America’s only pony car.
		It has been the top-selling car in its class for the last eighteen years, and Darwin’s theory has been upheld, as this strongest pony car is the only one to survive.
		This car felt somewhat heavy, in that it wallowed in turnswhich is probably why it has a nice ride on the highway.

		Even though the car can turn the quarter mile in 10 seconds, Larker said it makes for a nice Pro Street car and can be driven on the street without any problems.
		The car originally was to be built as a Mustang with a 390-cubic-inch engine but was changed to a 428-cubic-inch Cobra Jet engine by Ford Motor Co. The findings also were verified by Ford Motor Co.
		While that might seem like the car hasn't been driven much, most of those miles are from going down the quarter mile as fast at possible.

	Pony Car Revival
		Mustang is a muscle car designed for everyday driving, and it must deliver a quiet, comfortable, reassuring ride in a real world plagued by potholes and uncertain road conditions.
		The result is a car that delivers the edge – the performance characteristics Mustang buyers demand – along with the smooth – a more civilized environment that makes for a pleasant driving experience on long trips or in more routine travel about town.
		The GT version of the car incorporates a separate rear stabilizer bar to reduce body lean further.

		Beyond the charms of the car itself, there is also a powerful element of heritage.
		Ford counts every Jag and Aston ever built in its total production tally, but it's impossible for the home office in Dearborn to make a credible claim on the actual founding of either subsidiary, whereas the Mustang is all-American and home-grown in the Motor City.
		Also, bending rigidity—imagine a giant grabbing both ends of the car and trying to fold it like a piece of taffy—is up by 25 percent, according to Ford.

	Review: 1971 Mustang Mach 1 (AUTOart) 1/18: dub city DieCastFast.com
		While the muscle car was quickly picking up momentum, one manufacturer brilliantly took the reigns and steered the era in a new direction that would not only introduce a new breed of car, but would introduce a car that would transcend the period and become a timeless automotive icon.
		Plymouth introduced a similar concept with their Barracuda, conceivably granting them parental rights of the pony car, but it was the Mustangs first day sales of 22,000 units and first year sales of 500,000 units that steered the market and public awareness in the direction of the pony car.
		It would be the last major restyle of the first-gen blue-oval pony, and it would further signify the demise of the muscle car era due to pressures from the insurance industry and new government restrictions.

	2001 Chrysler Sebring LXi - The Car Connection
		My friend liked the rakish looks of the car, although she first suspected that it was, "you know, that fancy big one"--Chrysler's 300M sedan.
		But there is something at least psychologically distracting about driving along in a vaunted new car, taking stock of its quirks and character, wondering what it is that's so darned recognizable about the experience, when-schbri-i-i-ng-the sense of Sebring's novelty is eclipsed by the realization that here's a gallant impostor.
		Perhaps this front-drive Sebring is the pony car for the wireless and dot.com crowd that never heard of a rotary phone or fl-and-white TV.

		I was looking for a new car a couple months ago and I really wanted a pony type car.

		The modern muscle car trend at Dodge centered on the Challenger concept car, looking very much like a 1970 Dodge pony car icon.

		The pony car has led to the creation of more than 250 clubs nationwide.
