Employees of the company for which I work seem to have a predilection for pony cars.
Two for the price of one:
A surprising number of them have manual transmissions as well.

Too bad most of those are Clydesdales, not ponies.
MR2, Mini Cooper, couple of motorcycles. Sounds like a good percentage of people that work there like cars that are a little more on the fun side.
The MR2 once belonged to the guy that bought my black Spec V, and now is owned by one of the other ME's in my group. It has a slightly warmed over engine in it.
Too bad 1/3rd of them are V6's. Still way cool!
You're almost right; the yellow, green, and orange Camaros are V-6's - three out of 12 or 1/4th. The green one is an especially cool brilliant metallic color that shines out from all the way across the lot. Reminds me of a Hot Wheels car.
Seeing all the pick-ups in your shots and adding them to the ponycars you photgraphed I'd say your company employs alot of "red-blooded 'Muricans".
Looks like a bunch of hairplug transporters to me.

Ahem, the red 05-09 Mustang convertible is most definitely a V6. 4 of 12.
That green is called "Synergy" and is amazing.

I wasn't trying to troll, it's just difficult to deliver tone through teh internetz. Just poking a little fun at the typical pony car owner :)
Reminds me---
7 or 8 years ago we had 3 attractive single women in their early thirties working in the company. One drove a Z3, one an S2000 and the other a TT roadster. If someone looked at our small parking lot they might have gotten the idea that we employed a large percentage of enthusiasts but in reality to the ladies they were simply 4 wheeled fashion accessories.

Sounds exactly like the base 3000GT/Stealth was in 1995 or so. Those tended more towards the mid-40's divorced cougar types with frosted highlights, but the same concept applies.

There's a good sized portion of men who regard their cars in much the same way (except they wouldn't openly call anything they owned a "fashion accessory").
I approve!!!!

Not true - the red convertible is a GT with the 4.6. The skinny replacement tires fooled you.
And yes, there are a lot of pickups and SUV's in the lot, but there are also a bunch of Bimmers, Porsches, RX-8's, GTI's, 350 and 370Z's, etc. I'll document those in another photo essay one day. All in all, my company has the making of a great sports car club. If I could only find a place to have an autocross, I'm sure I could start one here. Our parking lot is too chopped up with islands and light poles to make one practical.

Sorry man, not buying it. The front bumper is clearly the V6 front bumper, and no GT owner is going to swap one of those on. 
Also, the V6 stripes and no GT emblem on the fender.
Stock V6 (see the bumper and stripes):
Real GT:

I happen to like Clydesdales. I've never driven one, but I have driven and ridden a Belgian. Talk about stump pulling torque! (Literally 
)
I want me a 5.0

The male equivalent is "penis extension." Think lifted to the sky with chrome wheels and a smoky tune for their diesel.
The parking lot at my work has those plus a few Vettes, a lot of tricked out pickups & SUVs and economy types like Prius, Focus, etc. My boss drives a Cayman S and my RX8 are the only different ones in the lot. Although my boss just drives the Cayman like a standard car. 
Bringing this old thread back from the dead because a couple of you commented on the MR2 in the background of this picture. Well, it turns out that MR2 is now for sale.

Damn those challengers look good.
I'm jealous of your employee bonus program.
