In the September issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines Magazine there is a great write up on a 1971 Cobra jet 429 Torino Squire 370hp at 3,583lbs 9.68pds where would this one land? h/sa

Looks like we could add the 2010 Camaro...3849 + 170!!

Wow! a new Camaro weight is greater than a Torino Station wagon. Great, will never see a Camaro in Stock.lol This is what you get when you get engineers from Australia do a retro design on an automobile they've never seen in their lifetime. My kids for Fathers Day rented for me a Challenger which I really loved driving plus it looks great.(sorry for taking this in the wrong direction)lol CR

Does that mean the Camaro would be a good candidate for a demo derby?
(I didn't mention the Challenger because I'm a Mopar guy.)

Yes look's like it would Myron but you would have to have deep pockets or a wife driving the Camaro at a derby after she's found out you've just left with her best friend to the Bahamas.lol Claude

Claude,
Ya know I've gotta defend me country men ! Ya can't buy one in Oz and it's built to USA specs, just like the factory Mustangs and Challengers, from the dealer they are that heavy too don't forget.

Have ya seen some of the stuff that they're building in Oz at present ???

You'd be really impressed, rear wheel drive, street car rockets. Comes in a sedan and a UTE, made by Holden, aussie for GM. Catch the Top Gear episode where they test 'em both and tell me you wouldn't want one of those.

Not suprisingly, Oz has turned out some really cool muscle cars in the past as well and they are still allowed to do so with all of the government restrictions that they must meet ( way worse than the US)

Ain't that the truth, they built boss 302's for many years and even stuck a 2bbl head/intake on the 200 and 250 6 cyl's! Oddball bosses too based on stroker 302 and 351 blocks. I forget the year but i remember seeing a mid 80's boss 302 falcon, I thought, "if only that was here".

I agree about the BOSS 302 or if youve ever heard of the 302 Clevelands they built and other stuff lol imagine trying to factor that stuff in Stock lol
