Worth noting: The original '64 1/2 - '66 Mustang was essentially the FR-S/BRZ of its day, and only weighed ~2700 lb! The originals were indeed PONY cars, not muscle cars. Given the size/weight of the '05+ Mustangs, they are definitely (note spelling!) more in the muscle car realm, as are the modern Challenger and Camaro. The Camaro and Challenger have SERIOUS weight issues! And they sit so HIGH. That's what you get when you try to build a "sporty" coupe on a MASSIVE sedan platform
