Re: Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?
Well, I guess it is time for me to throw in. Where, in the realm of "Supercars" would my lowly 409/425 '63 Impala SS fall?
How about my lowly '68 Impala SS427 [as opposed to a '68 Impala with a 427] fitting in? Both cars were pretty much rocketships, I thought...both 4-gear, posi reared cars. Also, both were 'verts. I always had good responses from them.

Special yes, but not SUPER [/ QUOTE ] I bet if you asked anyone about that impala in 1963 it was pretty SUPER and still is in my mind.

Re: Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?
i just thought of one of the sickest Supercars ever. the 1970 Boss 429 Cougar Eliminator!
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1970-m...eliminator.htm "The 1970 sales brochure listed the 429 Boss engine, rated 375 horsepower at 5200 rpm, as an Eliminator option. But Ford’s Kar Kraft facility, where 1969-70 Boss 429 Mustangs were built, is known to have assembled only two 1970 Cougar Eliminators with Hemi-head Boss 429 V-8s." legend has it both are destroyed.
