    I used to be in the Long Island Corvette Owners Association when I lived there, and a friend of mine with a pretty modded C4, clocked 218 at Watkins Glen. It was also a daily driver with 735hp at the rear wheels. Imagine the Z will do fine.

    Sharp looking car Gary, I will keep an eye out for it.
    Venom
    First off to the OP......Your mom sounds very cool to be driving a Vette....I hope she has a blast.......Venom.....218 mph is scary fast....Right now I am putting 544 hp to the wheels.....yes I know my Z will do just fine....Oh thanks for the compliment.:D

    So true. The term American Muscle car has taken on a very broad definition of late.

    As I said, yours looks to be a very nice car...a Buick 225 Electra Coupe...71/72 maybe? I have a 66 Ford Galaxie that meets all the criteria you mentioned and I would hesitate to call it American Muscle…but like you said…that’s just me...for what it's worth. :)
    I hear ya Shack. This 225 is actually a 1966 like your Galaxie, which BTW is a great looking year for the Galaxie. Got any pics? Love the vertical headlights. Later dude. :)

    Ah, 4 door post. Nice color scheme. I especially like the hubcaps. I had a 69 Ford Fairlane with very similiar hubcaps. Had the car 3 weeks and a 69 Ford Pick-up hit me head on. Totalled the car. By the time I got down to the city pound, those hubcaps were gone. Really bummed me out.....
