There are exactly ZERO modern pony cars [waitaminute, there *is* one: Genesis Coupe]. The Mustang and Camaro used to be 3200-3400 lb. pony cars, now they're 3600-3800+ lb. muscle cars. Challenger is 4000+ These are giant, heavy, barge-like sedans scrunched down to be less practical 2-doors, without being small or lightweight. Stupid.
If $55k was affordable to me (at ~4x median US income it's not), there's no way on God's green earth I would consider a ZL1, GT500, or any SRT8. There are much better options for going fast for way less money, if you don't insist on brand new...

And yet both the mustang, the camaro and probably even the challenger would wreck a GC around any track or on any straight you put them on. Not even in the same league, can barely contend with the v6 variants. How's that for stupid. As a matter of fact, find me another car that's CAPABLE of going 200mph like the GT500 or contain as much performance technology/can put up evil nurburgring times like the ZL1 and still keep a facory warranty for 55k. You do that and I'll turn lead into gold for you. You give enthusiasts a bad name hating on cars you've never even come close to driving before. Yeah, CLEARLY weight is EVERYTHING and the absolute end all be all for vehicle performance, that's why the Veyron SS is 4400lbs right? Because, slow. Clearly. Whatever, haters gonna hate.
