So based on the above. Splitting hairs, I'll give you legendary ZL1 as it is a story revered with a clan or family. Certainly applies here on C5.

First Im familiar with the Boss 429 Cougars, cool cars. To be a legend of whatever it may be it does not need to be known by the general public. It can be known as a legend within the community of again whatever it may belong.

Widely known is the defining characteristic. However can be widely known within a clan or family. So on that count you are right. I am wrong.

I wouldn't call you wrong. It's just I'm sure there are many legendary things within different categories you and I could care less about ever knowing.

Geez, that's the whole point! If most people don't know about it, then it is NOT legendary. Example: everyone knows about Robin Hood, King Arthur, BigFoot, etc. Things, stories, concepts, whatever become legendary when they break free from their own boundaries.

Would you call Carrol Shelby legendary?

[ShnOmac]

Shelby is legendary and there are plenty of people that know nothing about him. Hell... half the people that know of him probably don't know what makes him legendary.

Being legendary is really just a matter of perception. IMHO

Was that like the mustang guys excuse back then or something?

Yes an excuse. But the fact is if you had $7K+ back then you could go to certain dealerships and get one from GM.

Even today you can go to certain dealerships and get an LS9 based Camaro, but now not ordered from GM.

I get what you are saying.

The thought of something being legendary or not can easily be skewed by ones belief or perception of said event/object.
