Here you go OP. Although the hardtops go for absurd prices. It's too bad since they looks so nice

>>15858767

No demand. I guess were fine with 4000lb 600hp sports cars. Does Europe even offer anything that matches that criteria?

>>15858823
For five times the price.

>>15858808
Many current production European or Japanese sports cars are more expensive than the aforementioned American cars.

>>15858809
RIP Pontiac, I'll keep that in mind though.

>>15858823
>I guess were fine with 4000lb 600hp sports cars
For what purpose? Going fast in a straight line is boredom incarnate.

great rules OP, one of the shittest american poser cars fits your criteria

>>15858852
Going slow in a straight line is even more boring

>>15858875
>Porsche 911
>3200 lbs

>Corvette C7
>3500 lbs

You're wrong, but the Corvette is fairly light. Considering it's a V8 that's acceptable.

>>15858878
>>15858868
A Corvette makes as much power as a 911 Turbo bit weighs as much as a base model 911 Carrera

>>15858852

600hp is very fucking far from boring even in a straight line. Also North America isn't entirely straight roads, we have mountains which have twisty roads and race tracks.

Have fun maxing out all your 80hp and getting caught by one of the million speed cameras you got.

>>15858881
>3500lbs
Maybe in Z06 trim

>>15858868
Idk about the Viper but the Corvette isn't particularly heavy either unless you compare it to a go kart.

>Have fun maxing out all your 80hp and getting caught by one of the million speed cameras you got.
I'm American you retard. Why are you getting so defensive? All I asked was "why don't American companies currently offer X" and you lost your cool.

>>15858884
Idk what model corvette you're on about but I know it's slower than a 911 turbo.

>>15858891
If I wanted my come back I would have wiped it off your mom's chin

>>15858888

In two parts of the country. The big middle part is flat and so are the coasts.

Those are the only parts that matter. Only faggots and tornado fuckers live in the shitty middle or the coast.

OP asked a question with parameters and now you're saying "lol fuck the parameters this answer is right anyway"?

>>15858767
The Z0X Corvettes are pretty much the closest you're going to get to those standards. Even then, they'll hover more around 3200lbs.

>>15859002
>implying ~100 lbs makes a difference

Tue fuck are you? Border patrol trying to fill your daily quota by screwing overweight trucks?

>>15858767

How many cars even meet that criteria nowadays outside of a couple porches and the miata? Every car is fat nowadays

>>15859057

your mother isn't a truck, anon. she's a nice lady.

but really it doesn't matter. under 3500 is easily considered light.

that falls into "super car" category.

>>15859106

Yea you're right the AWD adds a lot of weight. The Carrera would have been the right answer. My mistake.

You just can't, their dynosaur brains can't accept that simple truth.

But it is. All the racing competitions that matter were born here, all the constructors that won said competitions were born here or in Japan.

This is a fact.

I dont know why you are all arguing about modern cars, when most of you ride shitboxes and ecoboxes.

You have never been in a worked over RS6, M5 or E63 on the Autobahn.

Foxbody Mustang. Most trims below 3100lbs, even with an iron block V8 (although to honest the SBF is light as fuck).

>>15858999
>>handled (and looked) like shit
Hey now, the Saturn Sky/Opel GT looked great.

>>15862111
Dictionaries don't do jargon very well. I agree though desu, muscle cars are sports cars, just for a different motorsport.

Drag racing can be fun and challenging.

>>15862135
>for a different Motorsport
Cars in production are made for commuting first and Motorsport second.

>>15862186
Sure, but as a sidegoal, a lot of ''muscle cars'' are designed to perform really well in dragracing. In the late 60's, they even made non-production muscle cars like the Thunderbolt which were specifically designed for ''consumer'' racing.
