The Mustang and Trans Am are generally considered pony cars or GT cars.
Corvettes are sports cars ar home racing in the quarter mile or rally racing. They can do everything well with little modifcation.
The 60's cars are muscle cars, just straight line fast, great quarter milers or cruisers. Having a few different models over the years. In my opinion, they cant handle the turns that a corvette can at the same speed.

One thing I've been thinking about is, why is it "never" Corvette that are in US car show on TV.
It is almost always everything else, why??
Is it because it's not a muscle car?

The term muscle car has evolved into anything with a high hp V8 lately. In it's purest form a muscle car is an intermediate such as a Chevelle, GTO, Road Runner, etc. Pony cars are Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, etc. That leaves the Corvette in a sports car category which is what it is. That's what it started out as and that's how it will go out. My $.02.

I had a 69 non R/T. I swapped the 318 out for a built 440. It was a rust bucket so I transferred the drive train to a 70 Challenger. Sold the Challenger shortly after I enlisted in the USAF. My next car will be a Challenger Hellcat.

Nothing to do with Corvette's mind you, but this is my good friend's car and it's impressive.
