Thoughts on new Muscle Cars?
 
Do the current 'Tuner Cars' qualify as Supercars?

The GMMG ZL1, Berger, Tom Henry and Earnhardt cars make great horespower with a full factory warrenty.

Your knowledgable replys are appreciated.

Enjoy your cars.

They are supercars. They are done in the tradition of the great ones. Baldwin Chevrolet used motion as their tuner and delivered a new car as a supercar. Same thing. That is what GMMG has done for dealers like Berger, Tom Henry, & Ernhardt. As long as they were sold new like that they are supercars IMHO. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Not on subject but is your 82 carb or cross fire. I also have one that is carb got about 94000 miles on it. It will soon get #46 GMMG Phase 2 ls6 motor.

I also feel the tuner cars are Supercars. There has been topics like this before, I have heard some mention that the Ls6 427 is not a true big block. Still they are all Supercars. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Low thirteens, possible mid to high twelves with some relative reasonable tuning and mods? IMHO, definitely supercars. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

IŽve ordered a HOT ROD edition, phase II with Line Lock,
i do feel its a supercar, and in my personal opinion they will be acknowledged as that also in 30 years.

A ZL 1, even hotter, sounds as awesome machines.

Markjack66...Porterfields # 1 2002 ZLL1 ran a 12.58@117 with 3.42 gears and two People in it. The engines have been bumped even more since then.

I was under the impression that all the ZL1 cars have 4.10 gears. Correct me if I'am wrong please.
