Traditional muscle cars were the Chevelles and Chargers and GTO's while pony cars (Mustang, Camaro, Challenger) were American companies trying to do a more European style small sports car. They still ended up rather large, but the idea was there.

Just because it's become a huge boat of a muscle car doesn't mean it always was or should stay that way. The original Mustang was by far the smallest and lightest of the original pony/muscle cars.

EDIT-I can't make it stop doubling up on the link. What the heck.

It would be nice to see a sub-2,500lb Mustang.
