You can forget baseball - it seems like Americans have a new favorite pastime on their hands. No, we're not talking about saddling up to the feeding trough at the local Golden Sizzlin'. Now more than ever, we love to argue. As a country, we'll leap into a debate half-cocked, half-informed and fully armed faster than you can say, "You're fired!"
In that grand tradition, the editors at Autoblog have dug in on which of our country's convertible muscle cars are the most American - the 2011 Ford Mustang GT Convertible (http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang) or the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible (http://www.autoblog.com/model/camaro). Motoring out across the Lady Liberty's wide open spaces in a topless muscle car is more patriotic than all the flag pins in Congress. They give our homecoming queens a perch from which to wave and make drive-in movies all the more magical.
In a twist of test fleet fate, two of us have been granted the keys to these beasts for the most American of holidays, Independence Day. Editor/Test Fleet Manager Steven J. Ewing (http://www.autoblog.com/bloggers/steven-j-ewing) has taken up the FoMoCo banner, leaving Associate Editor Zach Bowman (http://www.autoblog.com/bloggers/zach-bowman) to lead the Bowtie charge. Who will stand victorious?
Since it's the Fourth of July weekend and this is America, we'll leave that for the people to decide. Click past the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2011/07/01/partisan-pony-cars-ford-mustang-gt-convertible-vs-chevrolet-cam/#continued) to read the respective arguments for both cars and cast your vote.Continue reading Partisan Pony Cars: 2011 Ford Mustang GT Convertible vs. 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible [w/poll] (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/01/partisan-pony-cars-2011-ford-mustang-gt-convertible-vs-2011-ch/)
