Title: revelation...
Post by: Zoltan on November 11, 2014, 09:29:43 PM
I think, after all these years, I've finally figured out why muscle cars are so great. It's like being able to own a supercar, but without the price tag. Ok, so maybe not all muscle cars are able to take on a supercar, but the muscle car gives you a taste of what it's all about. They're supercars for real people.

wait a second guys, are you really saying that your cars will beat a supercar? Like, we're talking 0-100km/hr in 3-4 seconds...

"Forget about Eastern Creek, he won't even drive it out of the garage..."

... not true.... but with a strong holeshot and  1/4 mile run...I think the fastest US made GM/Pontiac ever made .... the only one in this country.. .. is unlikely to be seriously challenged by... another... off the self...  Pentastar spinoff product....even  with its two extra 90 degree cylinders... it quietly & sometimes  embarrassingly.. may not even get close to the TTA's shadow...........   :kickass:

Well...after spending $150k plus for a ground up resto I have way too much respect for it. I am not going trash it at Eastern Creek and I am sure you would not either. I know it does not get driven much but I have other reasons for that.
ozpont.....I bet that T/A does not have a Pontiac engine in it.... :lol:

My Vette would do great if it was set up for drags but its not a drag car its set up as a road racer, pretty much anyone can beat a supercar on a drag strip because they are not set up for drags but when you get a car that handles and has speed - thats what makes a good car! Ask Mick, I bet he could beat any of you around a track in a well handling car but put that circuit race car on a drag track it won't do anywhere as good as if it was especially set up for drags! 
i'd put $$$ that I would beat most of you around a track!  :kickass:
