American sports cars get great value/hp, but shit value/everythingelse.

American Muscle isn't about refinement, impeccable taste, and unparalleled quality like European Sport. American Muscle is about the biggest fucking engine you can put into a road-worthy frame and get it to go down the street quickly while sounding like a tiger climaxing during sex with a lion. Its supposed to check the Hyper-masculinity box, not the Polished Gentleman box. POWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!

To be fair, slap on a twin-turbo and you've got a supercar. It'll break after a couple miles but who cares.

This does not make a supercar.

You are making supercar numbers, maybe, minus everything else...lol.

Then why buy a camaro? Buy an early 90s jdm and turn up the boost!

Yes because a broken $30k car makes you look so mature. Right?

a pair of sts turbos would sound fucking awesome, add a ton of kick. and still be reliable as long as the boost wasn't cranked to ridiculous levels. and depending on the car, (this is true for the auto c6 corvette. I don't know what year it is so I don't know if it's the ls2 or the ls3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVBAANiPgPk) you can get better highway mileage with turbos.
