Pony car wars are back!

I know there's been some posts about the return of the Camaro, but here's a new article:

Freep Link

Good to see that the factories are re-starting their wars of the 70's!

Well lets see how many versions of the Mustang there are now:

V6 Coupe/Convt./Deluxe/Pony Package
GT Coupe/Convt./Deluxe/Calif. Special/H "Hertz" edition
Shelby GT
Shelby GT500

This can all be attributed to Ford, who unlike GM, can actually afford to get caught up in a pony car run.

Too true.
But I was more referring to the humor of it:

"During a Chrysler Group news conference Tuesday showcasing the Dodge Challenger concept, a General Motors Corp. truck drove by with two Chevrolet Camaro concepts in tow."

Sorry to crash your party, but check out our concept car!

I think this is great! But didn't know there were so many versions of the Mustang. What's the 'Hertz' edition, is that what you rent?

back in 1965/6 Hertz rental car would allow you to 'rent a racer', a GT350 Shelby in black with gold racing stripes with GT350-H on the lower door/fender. Hertz and Ford brought the concept back.

1966

Yeah, but this time we know they are/were passing off mules instead of pure-bred ponys. One ride in a BMW, MB, Porsche (even Audi) redefines your opinion of what a 'muscle' car should be.

More than anything, I'm just glad the factories are focusing on what I think they should. FAST CARS!

Enough of this, 300 airbags/3000 cupholders BS. Give me a fast car with zero options. If I'm hot, I'll roll down the winders and speed up (4-40 A/C!).

Ahh, no. I've had BMW, Porsche and neither provides those kind of torque and speed numbers for that type of price tag.

Luxury rides still have their place, but they can't touch V8 'American' speed/price ratios.

Too true. I love my Bimmer, and am looking to buy another in the future, but I also want some American muscle (to drive to church in, natch...).
