Hi All; Been lurking here for a week or so and just saw this thread. American cars can be made to outrun most sports cars (until you reach the Mega ones ie; Farrari, Maserati, etc.). The old 76 Trans Ams like The Smoky and the Bandit car, a Camaro clone, (the dash had a plaque that said "Radial Tuned Suspension" would outrun most Porches, Jags, Mercedes 450s, etc right out off the dealers lot. You might want to look into what thier specs were. I've built numerus (Camaros, Grand prixs, Impalas, Trans Ams, etc) over the years (I'm 65)that would blow the doors off most high dollar road cars. My ride right now is a sleeper '00 S10 Xtreme with a LS1, le1 discs, Ford 8.8 3.73 posi rear w/ discs, and numerous other mods to the suspensions. Other than the cost I've got about $9.000 in it. Heres some pictures. A friend of mine has a '90 Porche 911 and I eat him alive going thru the Blue Ridge Parkway.....Jim
