If half the keyboard pilots had a chance at driving a HO or a GTS 300 round a track or down the 1/4 , they'd still be beaten by a half decent driver pedalling a Hyundai i30............does that make the HO less of a muscle car and a Hyuandai a real MUSCLE CAR ??????

Methinks not............horses for courses and I reckon we're all getting sick of these lists.

Yeah shouldnt have, but i didnt mean it in that way. You will always get guys that cant see a new car as a muscle car (you know who you are). I think its a pretty good list and the blue oval is well represented.

I think it may be because the TE was what they tested, in the writeup about it they do mention their initial thoughts from when it was tested for the mag.
