It's Orwellian to design your "performance" cars (does that feel better, nitpickers?) around fuel mileage. Why have perfornance cars at all then?
The Camaro was never considered a Muscle Car. The Camaro was built to compete with the Mustang. They were called pony cars for a reason. It is fine if you have the mentality of I only like V8's in my cars. Besides its a buyers choice and that happens to be yours. I just don't like it when people associate a Muscle Car with everything that has a V8 in it.

Two completely different cars.

Chevelle = Muscle Car (will never be considered a sports car)
Camaro = Pony Car - Sports Car (Will never be considered a Muscle Car)

It was the Big Block / Sedan type cars that were considered Muscle Cars.

I would rather drive in the SCCA than the NHRA, but that is the beauty of choice.
