Obviously, this blogger was pushing new (or newer) Chevrolet products, and probably getting some kickback from Chevrolet, but this line in his article cracked me up; <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;Some cars do not make an appearance, including the Monte Carlo, Chevelle, and COPO Camaro. Exclusions were made based on a lack of available official specification and performance data.&quot;</span>

I would guess that a lot of those cars listed are faster than the 60s and 70s muscle cars.

I will guarantee you that most/all solid lifter Chevys from the 60s would knock the 2006 Impala SS off that list [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Also, most of these computer controlled wiz machines have some sort of traction control. Add just that feature to the 60s/70s muscle cars. &quot;Traction controls&quot; make any 16 year old think they're Ronnie Sox ... they have no idea what &quot;feather the throttle&quot; means.

Just watched a totally bogus race at the NHRA race -- they put the new Hell-Kitty against a real Hemi Challenger ... with the dude from Gas Ape garage driving the new MoPar. The real Hemi got waxed!! What they need to do is shut off the TC and have at it again -- you will know damn well the tires will not hold 700HP without TC -- and I am not sure in the Gas Ape dude knows how to drive a HP car without all the gizmos to control traction ...

Should I think twice about rolling up on a Cobalt SS? That seems wrong on so many levels.

If that was not bad enough, they ran the Hellcat with drag radials while the Hemi ran with the old style bias ply tires.
