Crazy! Love that Pop sound with a flame jumping out! I put the Noweeds Exhaust Diverters on mine and my husband was following me one nite on the hiway when I redlined her and he said he saw a flame pop out underneath. No idea if its true, but it would be cool if it did cause the sound was crazy loud!

Love Pizza! You see the episode of American chopper where Senior is test driving this top of the line Merc and he has his big huge dog, can't remember the dogs name, but he's gotta weight close to 200 pounds, and they're having lunch in the car. The dog is drooling all over everything in the car. The car is just covered in slobber, easily a 200K plus car! I guess not everybody babies their Supercars!

I did a quick search for the Paul Jr Design Camaro's with Trans American Muscle. He got number 01 of a total of 77 to be built. But I couldn't find anything as to how many have been sold. There is a number to call to place an order, just wondering if they actually sold any?

I did see that, the dog was tearing that car up, I'm sure the car was a loaner for the air time on the show.

Ugly oh yeah, but pretty fast, they did add a little hp, supercharger and all, but Ugly. Each one will have a number with Jr's being number 01.

NO your car wont !!! not even a stock ZL1 on a road course!!!!!no freaking way !!!!!!!your car is a ss,and a built car...and try a mild built ZL1 on a road course it would out run your car pretty easy I would say after about 20 or 30 laps...your brakes,rear end,etc would over heat..heck after 3 laps it would be over,your car is not set up to run at a drag strip,then be able to press a button and ride like a caddy on the street smooth as a babys butt, then have to only press another button,and go onto any road course anywhere on the plant it has has all the factory built cooling systems,and brakes to slam most other cars on a road course..yes a new stock GT500 is faster in one lap than a stock ZL1(by.4 of a sec) with 100 more hp but by the end of the second lap its slower by 1.1 seconds,and by the 3rd lap and by the 20th lap,it would either be in the fence because the brakes have over heated,as would your ss,there is a lot of you guys that are only thinking about,1 lap,1 run down the drag strip which means jack shi%# try 30 laps and see what happens to your cars...the ZL1 is yes a cheap supercar think how little it cost,compared to a 300,000 red supercar it can keep up with,I have owned a modern Ferrari before,and i will tell you this much,it may not rev to 7500 rpm,but for what it can do,and for what it cost,and for as little as a extra 10k what it can really do then is freaking nuts..and if anyone put as much extra money into a zl1 as you did into your really nice 45thss just think about what it could do after that ? you have a 400 tubo trans in your car now correct,what is your top speed 135-140 maybe with a tail wind ? in what world can your really nice and it is, run 185mph,mine can ..can yours ? in fact with a turbo 400 i dont think you could do one lap at the big track in Germany,does anyone else..I dont see any extra coolers,or air ducts for your brakes,or does it have a kick ass rear diff cooler. I am sure not everyone will agree,but is it a exotic no its not that i will agree to,but when it can out run a stock Zr1 with a few mods on a road course,drag strip,and rides a little better on the street,what does a car have to do to be called a supercar?Its been called that in road and track i think or maybe another mag cant remember off the top of my head..Bottom line it is what it is to each and every person that owns one,not someone that has looked at it or read about it,or thinks his home built/shop built car will out run it in one lap or in one 1320 feet run then parks his car and pulls it home !!!!!!!!!! this conversion will go on forever,but when someone can run 10 laps in it all with a tens of a second of each other,what do you call it ? a yenko is called a supercar,but it cant out run it can it ? oh thats a camaro too is it not ? if you have one just enjoy it,and dont be offended by what others that dont have one say about it.Heck people used to say this and that,and laugh at my Ferrari as they beat up on it at the drag strip,until i pass their car on a trailer on the way home being pulled by a $2,500 truck doing 45 in the slow lane.Did it bother me yes,I will be honest but only till I got on the freeway then who got the last laugh....
oh is Hennessy 90k ZL1 a supercar ? boy it sure was called that by at least 5 T.V shows and every place I looked on the news stand.

ITS BEEN SAID THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SUPERCAR WHICH HAS BEEN BASED ON PERFORMANCE ONLY IN THE PAST,AND SHOULD BE BASED ON PERFORMANCE ONLY,NOW WHEN IT COMES TO PRICE,NUMBERS MADE,WHAT IS USED TO MAKE IT WITH ,COST ETC..ETC.. THATS WHAT IS CALLED A EXOTIC CAR..BACK IN THE DAY AS I SAID A CAMARO CALLED THE YENKO WAS A SUPERCAR,AND STILL IS CALLED THAT,IT SELLS FOR 250K OR MORE CORRECT,BUT ITS STILL MADE FROM CHEAP PLASTIC,RUBBER,ETC..CORRECT SO ITS BASED ON PERFORMANCE ONLY THATS WHAT MAKES A SUPERCAR,ALL THE OTHER CARS SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE EXOTICS..ALSO IT DEPENDS ON WHERE IN THE WORLD YOU LIVE AS ANOTHER PERSON POINTED OUT.. A ZL1 IN OTHER COUNTRIES WILL COST SOMEONE 200K OR MORE,SO ANSWER THAT...AND IN RUSSIA ITS CALLED A SUPERCAR...I READ THAT ON A RUSSIAN WEB SITE...THIS IS GOING TO DRIVE SOME OF US CRAZY,ME ON THE OTHER HAND I AM GOING TO FASTLANE AS SOON AS ITS FINISH,AND PICK UP MY LITTLE PIECE OF AMERICA MADE, RACE INSPIRED,TRACK PROVEN SUPERCAR AND ENJOY IT....

Pulled into a dunkin donuts which has a liquor store right next to it and a wine'o gave me the thumbs up and said "Supercar Man". To which I responded "I'll drink to that".
