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

Re: Thoughts on new Muscle Cars?
I®ve 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. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] NEW [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.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.

Re: Thoughts on new Muscle Cars?
NCGuy- I've seen you on LS1.com for a while, about time you found this site!! Totally agree the new cars are current muscle. Handling, braking, all the creature comforts and mid 12's....gotta be American muscle! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: Thoughts on new Muscle Cars?
I posted on this site right after I got my Earnhardt car in June, 01. At that time, there didn't seem to be much interest/awareness of the modern 'tuner' cars. I see that has changed dramatially now.
I'll always be a big fan of the 1st Gen cars. However, as you've said, mid 12s' with braking, handling and creature comforts is PURE American Muscle from the modern cars. Refresh my memory please. What GMMG upgrades make the Phase II 435 HP package? Enjoy your cars.
