Re: What is a Supercar??
Well James, you could probably get as many different answers to "What is a Supercar?" as you would to "What is a Musclecar?" To me, a Supercar is something that was not normally available on the regular manufacturers option lists. This would refer to things like COPO's, factory racers out the back door, etc.
Having said that, would a COPO Camaro be a Supercar while a Hemi Cuda would not? Very fine line on that one I think. I also don't think hobbyists go around saying "It's not a Musclecar, it's a Supercar". Rarity may also come into play, but then you have similar debates like "How many Hemi Cudas were made in 1971 and how many COPO Camaros were made in 1969?" In my opinion, Supercar and Musclecar are not specifically defined in the Websters Dictionary [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Just my meager two cents worth, I'm sure others have different thoughts. By the way, nice to see a Beau SD down south, lots of them up this way obviously.
