That would probably be classifed as a muscle car, but as you said, very very close because with low enough gears (numerically high), they would run low-14s/high 13s with no modifications.Originally Posted by CdocZ
The Super Cars were the top guns from each car make- the 454 Chevelles, 427 Fairlanes, 428 Mustangs, 427 Yenko Camaros, Hemicudas, 440-6 packs '69 Road Runners, '70 Buick GSX 455 Stage 1s, Olds 455 4-4-2s, Pontiac 455 SD Trans Ams...
All of these could run well into the 13s, some could run in the 12s.

I'd say that the Muira would be the most important supercar for being the first mid-engine supercar (I think).
I agree by saying the Muira was the most important supercar, it was a massive step forward in the evolution of sports cars. One thing special about the car is it's 60 degree transversely mounted engine. That is what helped make the car special in it's day.Originally Posted by aNOBLEman

I would kinda say the Vector, because it was proof that America had more up it's sleeve that slow, uygly useless gasguzzlers, and bad haircuts. (-JC)

Audi humbles Porsche. A new dawn starts today.
Being nice since 2007.
Nay, it is the FIAT Itala (1904).
10 litres of fun put in 4 cylinders =50bhp.
The other most powerful cars had 20bhp or less.
I'll agree with that. Every supercar that's been created is brilliant (well nearly all anyway) but there's only a few that have been important. The Miura was a revolution in supercar building.Originally Posted by Vaigra

If you say that then I say the S7TT because it's American and it's WAY better than any Vector...and more reliable.Originally Posted by Prius
