For baby boomers, the Chevrolet Camaro was an iconic pony car – the macho alternative to the two-seat Corvette. The Camaro was the working man’s hot rod, populating every dragstrip, road course, and local stock car racing circuit in America. In its Pontiac Trans-Am flavor, the same car achieved cult status as Burt Reynolds’ most famous movie ride.
The original Camaro went out of production in 2002, but in the wake of Ford’s retro-success with the latest generation Mustang, it was inevitable that GM would revive both the nameplate and the looks of the first-generation Camaro. With Chrysler bringing back the Challenger, the pony car wars are on again in Detroit.
And that’s good – the Big 3 need a morale booster right now. A big heaping helping of good old-fashioned fun could be just the right prescription for a case of the doldrums.

This is 2009, and we’re supposed to be frugal, serious, and green. Especially here in Portland, Oregon where I live, greenness is a virtue we take seriously. We’re all about sensible transportation options.
 Unapologetic Muscle The 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is the antithesis of all that – it’s got 425 horsepower, gets about 16 miles per gallon, and really seats only two people comfortably. It’s big, loud, and very very orange. Yes, as a Portland car it’s got every possible strike against it.
But I love it, and I don’t care who knows it. In Portland, it turns out that Muscle Cars are the love that dare not speak its name.
