Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?

it is a very loaded question actually. as belair62 stated by the website description its dedicated to the CHEVROLET dealer built supercar and COPO cars. however, a 69 Hurst SC/rambler is a dealer built racecar specifically designed to compete in F Stock dragracing. and the SC in SC/rambler stands for Super Car. i am to young to know when exactly the term Super Car was placed on dealer installed and factory prepared automobiles, but i would be just plain lying to you if i said this was only a Chevy thing.

No one said Supercar were "only a Chevy thing". However this sites original intent was: Dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Chevrolet dealer
built Supercars and COPO cars.

All featured Supercars are Chevrolets https://www.yenko.net/features/featurecars.htm

The definition of a "Supercar". I see them as factory or dealer prepped high horsepower, low production muscle cars. Produced by many manufacturers. Not just Chevrolet.

That defintion differs from the Yenko/Copo Supercars focused on this site.

Like most things, why get caught up in rigid "rules". Although this site started as a chevrolet COPO and Dealer Site (at least when I started coming here) that was mostly camaro's and chevelles, it has become so much more. I remember when Deuce's became all the rage. Then came the discussions about the Deuce being a "supercar", but only a 350 car. That went on for a while. Finally, my 70 Z28 COPO was discussed. It is a COPO, but the COPO option was a spoiler package. How would that compare to a non "supercar" L78?

I say let's just enjoy em for what they are, and a 427 vette sure is a "super" car if it's not a "supercar".

Not so. The Deuce has been here since the beginning! The same discussions about the Deuce w/ it's Z28 drivetrain was just another rehash about the '69 Camaro with it's Impala L72 drivetrain.... If it's got a performance COPO #, or a dealer transplant/supertune - it's in! Heck, the stingers, vegas, & turbo Z's are 'SuperCars'

How about big spoiler cars

Does they improve your ET on the 1320'?

It does only if it has a certified LM1.

And some stickers that say "Deuce" do? And as far as the COPO Z's, yes, it is a proven fact that there was a peformance increase in Trans Am racing.
