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/

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

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.

This is DEFINATELY a SUPERCAR! It is absolutley KILLING me to have this beast sitting in my shop and not being able to drive it. Lets just put it this way. The 94 LT4 is cowarding in the corner of the shop, and the 2 Yenkos have definatetly taken notice of this car! I just cant wait to get the two ZL-1's together for a photo shoot.
