hmmmm… B class ‘MERICAN MUSCLE - 1970 or older - 375hp limit - NO AERO – I bet there a a LOT of tasty choices in the garage, just waitin’
~One second short of the mark, 59.125 in a’68 Shelby GT-500KR (352hp) – there was some slidin’ going on ;^)
Thanks for kickin things off, DL ;] Shelby, huh =] Nice choice ;] Would love to see some shots ;]
Tried a few more…
70 ‘Decisions’ Camaro - oh so close to the Judge…58.270 - 360 hp
69 Firebird - paint by our own AlienatedElm ;] …57.417 - 365 hp- new PB and quickest thus far ;]
Can’t wait to see if some more guys jump in and through some meat on the fire ;]
…dusted-off an old '57 Ford Thunderbird “Battlebird” (336hp):
It could probably use a bit of a tune-up, maybe a new transmission… but turned in a very respectable 58.106 !
I started with the Olds 442 at 57.748 then moved over to the 69 Bo & Luke special and turned 57.380 (PB and replay )
Tune for 69 Charger is up
Edit 66 Nova SS 56.953
…thought we were Grading on a curve ! way to blow the curve, man ;^)
Myself included - let’s not forget to post HP ratings
Good thing that Olds 442 was not that fast lol … considering w/glasses that’s 384 hp stock not 364 as Draggin Magoo seen =D (it ain’t ez bein’ cheezy lol )
I can’t break the 70 Boss out of 57’s ;(
The 66 Nova and 69 Charger are both 375 … ran the 57 Chevy w 312 HP and the 70 Vette is 375 HP
The Vette I set 56.766 so far in … have Nova replay and Charger replay … Vette I’m still tweaking
Sorry DL my bad ;o) but I will toss up on the SF what I cars I ran

cool beaners … but I see that .002 difference lurkin on the LB lol
The 70 Vette replay is up 56.687 375 hp L 7 as well as the tune … plenty o room … I’m still making errors and I have TC on so I see 56.0 easily attainable in it
57 Chevy (312 hp ) & 65 Stang ( 280 hp ) are both high 56 cars as well easily on first attempt builds ( throw togethers)
'68 Pontiac Firebird (360hp):
…took a good 7 laps to pass my ghost in the ol’ 57 T’bird, but another pb = 58.021
'68 Chevrolet Nova SS 396 (375hp):
round & round…
57.943
another pb; finally topped myself in the '68 Firebird.
Muscle cars are my specialty and my favorite track this should be fun. Just have to keep the drifter mindset out of me coming through that rhythm section. Will get my cars ready tonight and post em tomorrow
well, didn’t take long to beat myself in the '69 Nova SS!
I won a couple of cars DARGGIN’ was throwing away at Auction the other evening…
'70 Chevrolet Camaro (369hp):
57.438
I nearly caught Kool’s '69 T/A!
(really nice one DRAGGIN’!)
