Tom,
Are you baiting me [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

That would be one cool Day two,Muscle Car with a very interesting history. It would fall in between a regular muscle car and a full blown Super Car and I would be overjoyed to own such a car, based on the sYc definition of a Super Car.

Some Tunner cars are also Super cars and would deserve a special notation. If a car was taken to a tunner for a full conversion(ala Motion Phase III) when no other equivelent car was available for purchase as new, then that also would be a Super Car to me. So this is dependent of the era and what may or may not have been available at the time.

If someone purchased a Nickey, Baldwin, or Yenko regular muscle car such as an L78 1969 Camaro and then had it converted to a 427 after the fact, it would not be a Super Car by definition. My emotions/senses however, would certainly say that it was 100% Super Car.

The Tunners who had a pedigree, Such as Harrell,Motion,Yenko, Berger, Nickey (Mr. Norm's Grand Spualding Dodge and Royal Pontiac would be examples for other marks)should receive some dispensation.

Many of the Super Car dealers also sold just "regular" muscle cars and these are certainly not Super Cars, IMO.

I would think that Tunner Cars have their own niche in the Super Car world.

P.S. This is a generic discussion and not meant to put down anyones particular vehicle.
