Re: Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?
SUPERCAR has an interesting definition, the ZL1 Camaro of which 69 were ordered through COPO which was not easily available to public is a SUPERCAR BUT the ZL1 Corvette which were easily available, ordered through RPO available to general public of which only 2 were made is not a SUPERCAR. I understand completely, I think.

Re: Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?
I can't believe this thread has gone on this long. Who really should care if that Vette should be considered a Supercar.?? If it was a BM Vette, then YES. "By definition"!! A stock L-78 Camaro or Chevelle, or any other "stock" RPO car does NOT fit the description. They are Musclecars. "Supercars" were dealer conversion hi-po cars, or COPO cars. That's it in my mind. NO gray area there for me.
I probably should have just kept my mouth shut, since I only own pre-historic musclecar stuff.   Verne

Re: Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?
Thank God for Verne! Only SB Supercar out there would be any dealer installed SB in a Vega. Motion, Scuncio, Harrell etc. And don't let me here any of you old timers say there is a comparison between a good running SB and a good running L78. I have been a SB man all my life and still am but comparing the 2.........

Re: Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?
Sorry Ken, You are wrong! With boat anchors!!!
 But our buddy Pete the motor man has one 62 solidly in the mid nines and another 62 on the verge of a nine second run on a new motor. Both over 135 mph with 4 speeds.

Probably just retired from service last month. When you say Sissy sells shakes, does it sound like you're whistling??
