Unfortunately, one of the icons of the American pony and muscle car segments is officially gone – Chevrolet recently produced the final sixth-generation Camaro (a ZL1, of course) at its Michigan plant, and while the nameplate isn't fully retired, there is also no official successor in sight.

Some say that a V6 is at least two-cylinders away from being a great engine, but these high-performance units prove that choosing this configuration can result in engineering masterpieces.

Ever since the second car was assembled, Planet Piston has been engaged in a much-heated competition to settle what’s the ultimate argument in debates centered around certain 1,320-foot-short duels. Apparently, there is such a thing as a replacement for displacement: forced induction. Alternatively, reducing the number of wheels by half can do a pretty good job over the standard quarter.

The 1967 GTO received several notable upgrades despite launching as the last year of the first generation. The new taillights, the relocated GTO badges, and the demise of the Tri-Power system were all signs that Pontiac was already gearing up for a new generation.

Ford kicked off the first-generation Mustang production in April 1964, approximately four months before the official 1965 model year. As a result, the American carmaker didn't want to call these cars 1965 Mustangs, and despite using this model year for its marketing materials, diehard fans call it the 1964 1/2 Mustang. The cheapest Mustang could be had for $2,368, though it came with a lazy six-cylinder en. ( continue reading.
