Kindly pardon my lack of observation skills.

Pony cars?



Better?

 

Third Gens. Especially IROC-Z's and early Z28's.

 

anyone notice he said last 20 years?? That'd capit at 1984

 

Well, except for the "Pony Car", "last 20 years" and "no tuner cars" part, ....thank you very much.

 

'91/'92 Firehawk
'89 Turbo trans Am
2002 ZL1

These are my top three. SVT Cobras,Saleens,Camaro SSs,Firehawks,the rest of the GMMG cars, the 1LE third gens, and even the lesser versions of Camaro,Firebird and Mustang make the last 20 years the best ever for pony cars.

Now ,if the manufacturers (including Chrysler) could follow the GTO into a new age of the Musclecar we'd really have something to talk about!

 

Pony car.....


Of course the classic ones are Camaro, Firebird, Mustang, Cougar, Barracuda, Challenger and Javelin.

But I think it's fair to include 80's Chargers, Lasers, Daytonas, Sebrings , Avengers and Fox based Mercury Capri's.

As far as GLH's go...I LOVE THEM! I used to have an '84 GLH. I've been looking for a GLH Turbo lately...that isn't too trashed.

Great pocket rockets. I wouldn't call them Pony Cars though.

 

coolest of the last 20 imo are :

90 5.7 Quazar Blue Iroc
92 Z28
85 Iroc
87-90 GTA's
91-92 Formulas
87-93 Fox stangs
93 Cobra
93-97 LT1 f-bodies
ANY 4th gen Firebird
03-04 Cobra's and Mach 1's

 

well, since we're breaking all the rules, then the '69 Z and '70 AAR.

 

3. The last Plymouth Barracuda: They rusted out like crazy (especially the fenders) and they were a bit large to be performance cars, but at least they still had big blocks and carried tripower till 1973, long after everyone else cashed out on these.
_______________________________________________
oops-didn't get the quote right



"Tripower" is a GM only term-- Chrysler's Dodge division used the term "six-pak"--Plymouth called it simply "six-barrel"

This 3X2 carburetor configuration was discontinued on all Chrysler vehicles after the 1971 model year.

Thanks.

 

Forget the Cuda'

1974 Pontiac Trans Am 455 SD was the last big block bad boy to ever be built. 13's in the 1/4 mile (maybe low 14's) made it the fastest car made in NA until the 87 Grand National.\

I love 1974 Firebirds

 

Not to be a jerk, but "Ponycar" refers to a very specific type of vehicle.

Specifically - V8, RWD, Long hood, short trunk, 2+2 coupe, American made.

 

I would have included the SD455 cars if the question was about the last 30 years instead of the last 20. My choice of those would be the '73 Formula 455 SD. I love the Formula bodystyle from '70-'73. The change in '74 just doesn't do it for me.

 

91-92 Z28
Late 80s GTA, pinnacle being the 89 TTA
96-97 Trans Am WS6
87-93 GT's and the pinnacle was the 93 Cobra. (LX's are just wrong)
00 Cobra R
98-02 Camaro SS
98-02 Trans Am WS6
03 Cobra

That'd be my list

*edit* I suck at spelling and car years!

 

1. Any 4th gen WS6 Firebird.

2. Any 4th gen SS Camaro.

3. LT1 Z28 Camaro.

4. 89 TTA.

5. 95-03 Cobra.

6. 91-92 Firebirds.

 

I am not surprised...most people do like the 70-73s.
The 74 is stilll pretty unique though. The window was still flat, the grill has the verticle stats and the nose/facsia is only shared with the 75.

Good to see another SD fan. I did see a 73 SD TA in Alberta at a car show. Only one I have ever seen in my life.
