A new dawn is on the horizon, though the sun may not shine as long as us enthusiasts would hope. This still is a special time, as the Big 3, even in their crippled up condition, are about to unleash a muscle car war, a trifecta of power, which hasn't been seen since prior to my arrival into this world. Camaro...Challenger...Mustang...SS...R/T...GT...all letters that mean something to those faithful to their brand, perhaps stretching generations of families.
Part of me realizes that truth be told, Challenger will likely not be around any longer than it's 5 year lifespan beginning in the 1970's. The Camaro and Mustang may be the lucky survivors, though I am beginning to accept that they may be outfitted with high power V6's or ever (gasp) 4 bangers. The performance would still be there, perhaps in a much more limited production, but there is just something more American about the V8. It's symoblic, iconic, representative of what a performance car is. With the Camaro just starting down the assembly line, there is no sense in dwelling upon what the future may hold. No, instead, it makes more sense to celebrate what we have, the return of the pony car era!
Motortrend takes all three models for a drive, each showing off their brute strength in different ways. Check it out.
