Ill be keen to join, Buick special ok in that list?

Please add the commodore, it's basically a 5.7 gto 04. As shown in smokes picture, and yes it is muscle.

 

[kingking]

@ artic trust no theyre not.

 

[HatlessMan]

@ artic trust no theyre not.

How are they not

Is the GTO 5.7 muscle?

 

[Charlloots]

Here we go again.
I believe the GTO 5.7 = Modern Muscle

 

[Master__Shake_]

The "Vauxhaul" Monaro would be considered muscle, since its basically a GTO hiding under a different body design, but the Commodore is a Sport Sedan much like the Dodge Charger. It's debatable I guess, since it's just a 4-door version of the Monaro.

Go and re-read artics comment.

 

[SmokeNrubber]

As Shake noted, the Monaro is the GTO equivalent round these parts.

As for the Commy, damn straight it's a muscle car.
5 Million dudes that look like this agree with me.

👍

 

[harry2000]

are all the races held at the indy 1/4 mile track?

 

[harry2000]

There is a 1/4 mile at le mans and if you turn on the night and grip on track edge to real it is much more like an actual street

 

[ArticTrust]

Unfortunately, hosting a room with a le mans 1/4 is near impossible since its reknown to be a no chicane "chase" straight. I can see it working. Not saying it's not possible but it isn't very wise, many straights can be used for 1/4 but isn't for the exact reasons of A lag, B people will be more tempted to do other things. They made route X for people but I don't know if that's like a street.

Street racing can get you in trouble. Race safe.. race local, race Indy.

It would take forever to get there.

 

[harry2000]

it takes a few minutes to get there

 

[Harry6784]

Just to find out you top out too early and have to retune...

The 1/4 mile would end well before the slight turn in the road.

So the question is, how do you even accurately measure your start and stop points ?

 

[harry2000]

i used this video to gauge roughly how long a 1/4 mile is

 

[Master__Shake_]

If you really want to do night drags, there's Route X as well as SSR7 & SSR5 having straights long enough for drag. Not sure why anyone would go to Sarthe to drag..

 

[harry2000]

its a short straight and its a narrow road to race on

 

[Mikeybc]

If i remember correctly it would be a bit too narrow There's no space to safely drive back without hitting the next pair of cars racing...it would be like what used to happen in the tunnel.

 

[harry2000]

didn't think of that...maybe we could just wait until those cars have come back before letting the next pair start?

 

[X3sgteX]

@harry2000 let it go. If you want to make a thread about this, feel free to. But it's getting way off topic.

 

[Mikeybc]

As logical as that sounds for some reason I can't imagine that ever really happening.

 

[jdiaz092009]

Agreed! Look at what people do on Indy and they have more than enough space to come back. For some reason people want to drive back directly on the track. I can imagine the cluster 🤬 this would cause.

 

[Harry6784]

If only there was a place near the pits where 1/4 mile is CLEARLY marked and you can race any time of the day up to 5 wide with a designated return lane...
