MUSCLE WARS! are kids are gonna be happy

[vaderv]

After seeing posts of the new Caddy and the 300 it dawns on me the muscle wars are in full swing again. Ford is going to build the 427. In a few years there is going to be an abundance of used cars with 400+ horsepower. We thought we had it made in the 70s!? Think about it. Grandma pulls up in her Caddy V and smokes your vette stang whatever. ;) I don't think we'll have to worry about the next group comming into drivers ed being ricers. My point or question if you will; What car do you ladies and gents consider the first "shot" in the hi powered sedan wars? I started to think SS then thought Marauder. Whatever way you wanna think about it. Thank God it happened.:D

I'd have to agree, vader...the 1994 Impala SS. Although it was more of a "shot across the bow"...

I'm assuming you're talking American, here...so the Marauder cannot be included; as we all know, it's a Canadian car... :rolleyes:

1988 Spirit Turbo nice for a FWD platform could give 5.0 Mustangs fits if properly tuned.

Sure, just wait till the insurance companies start realizing this trend......:lol:

What about the Monte Carlo and Buick Grand National from the late 80 early 90...They where two door sedans and the Buick was lightning quick with a chip and some other choice mods.

I was gonna include the GN in my reply, but I was thinking vader meant full-size 4 door cars...I thought of the GN as a more of a mid-size coupe, since it was made from a Regal...

But you're right, they are very fast and very nice, when you can find one. We ALMOST had one; my wife took it for a test drive and we were going to buy it when the salesman told her he'd made a mistake, the car had already been sold by another salesman...I was very bummed...

Two doors equals coupe... I was talking about sedans. We have had access to hi powerd 2 doors forever.

The only four doors I have are the MM and my 66 (suicide baby! :up: ). Otherwise, I'd prefer a coupe. They're easier to get in and out of, usually have a tighter wheel base, and are just more sporty and fun. I doubt I'll have any more 4-doors in my time...
