i may be wrong, but i thought the hellcat was made (as powerful as it is) cause all the rules (gov MPG stuff) go into effect. so the other company's are too late.Im likely wrong tho.

A muscle car is a American car with a big powerfull motor in a mid-full sized rwd vehicle that can go fast in a straight lines not in corners. And were affordible for the average american to afford.
I wouldent call a corvette a muscle car because it was desgined with aerodynamics and built to be an american supercar but i done see why it cant be called a muscle car. It is exactly what a muscle car is just marketed as a sports car. Like a superbird vise versa

The Corvette is definitely a muscle car.
A always thought a muscle car was any American car with a larger displacement engine. Don't think it needs to be a pony car, the Impalas from back in the day definitely weren't pony cars.
A Corvette is a sports car, but I'd also consider it a muscle car.
an ls7 isnt even compatible with a supercharger unless you're going to mod more.........way more
You're in denial. 60K for 707hp changes everything when it comes to the auto industry domestic and exotic.Hey, I wasn't the one comparing the Challenger to Exotics.
The Hellcat is certainly a good value at 60k, but its not turning the USDM or exotic industry upside down. The Corvette is an even better value at 80k when you consider it bests the world class Zr1 in every category. This new Z06 has a few more horsepower, a lot more torque, weighs less and comes in at a starting price over 30 grand less than the base Zr1.
I like the Challenger, but the Hellcat isn't doing anything revolutionary. It sticks to the very traditional formula of big engine, lots of horsepower, lots of weight, good in a straight (if you can get it to
I do like the Z06 and it is a great package. I'd like to see if Chevy brings back the ZL1 and if there is a new 7.0 Liter in the works.
I'd like for Chevy to throw a supercharged LS7 into a Corvette or Camaro. Thing would DESTROY everything in sight.
theres a reason theres a z06 and a zr1
The ZL1 is better because of the unfair advantage the supercharger gives it as dude above me pointed out. You supercharge an LS7 and you've got a MONSTER under the hood. Done up the right way, nothing will beat it.
Either way, Corvettes stay at the top.
imo, there's still no replacement for displacement. Didn't the new Z/28 just use the LS7?
Just a sidenote, isn't it funny the new Z/28 has such a huge displacement when the original one was only a 302?

and as mentioned before, you cant just slap a supercharger on an LS7 and its a beast, theres more work to be done, honestly so much work needs to be done to make it a reliable driver that i wouldnt even consider it an LS7 anymore
it wouldnt even be a modded LS7, it would be a re-engineered LS7, which kinda takes the fun out of it
yea the z28 uses the 427

This looks even better in blue.
View media item 1148264
This Z06 is a world class perfomrance car, but Mopar has turned the entire industry domestic and exotic upside down with the 707HP Hellcat at $20,000 less..
didn't take long did it.
HUH???? Corvette is a sports car. Hellcat is a muscle car. Im sure this has been said.
