I still think that a '68-'69 Motion-built ("as delivered") 427 L88 Phase III Nova, "welds" and all, would have to be pretty damn hard to beat. With gears and cheater slicks it's got to be a low 11/high-10 car! Same goes for a 'tuned' '69 Yenko Nova or a Dick Harrell Nova. Camaros too, but the Novas have a slight weight advantage. But, in the weight department, a Phase III Stingray would have to be right up there too. No wonder the insurance companies threw down the gauntlet in 1970!

Hemi Darts were/are awesome cars but not street legal. I think the term "Supercar" implies a street-legal car delivered through a dealership or dealer subcontractor like Motion or Harrell.

thats debateable. i know Hurst worked with AMC on the SC/ramblers but i'm not sure on the SC/hornets. these cars were definately Supercars and not sold through subcontractors. the topic is "Meanest" and nothin screams American Badass better than a A scheme SC/rambler. except...
