I guess there is that misconception that "muscle cars" are 1/4 mile kings (

I guess that technically means they are also Drag Queens...

LOL ) but are no good around the bends...

And if you will include the Viper, Z06, S7, M900, Cobra R, the Panoz' etc you have a different story.

Perhaps there should be 2 categories - the "classic muscle car" - pretty much the biggest engine stuffed into the lightest body, and the "new era muscle car" - very much a ground up designed, super fast, decent handling world class sports car.

I think the forum title is fine - I mean if folks think that the cars listed can't go around corners - I say "bring it on"
