"Relaxed" as in big engines that rely more on torque for performance, rather than the traditional Euro style rev-happy power plants, such as the TVR speed 8 & 6, Ferrari V8s, Porsche's flat 6 etc.
They need working to extract the performance, and it is just something that appeals more to me.
Thanks for all the fish

Vipers, Saleens, Chrysler 300C, Plymouth Prowler, Ford GT and GT40, Hudsons, Mustangs, Lincolns (30s-60s) umm and some Caddys.
I like '50s-'70s Cadillacs and '60s/early '70s muscle cars (like '68-'70 Dodge Chargers, '70 SS Chevelles [396 & 454], Olds 442s, Buick GS 400 and 455, Pontiac GTO/Firebird, Ford Fairlanes and many more).Originally Posted by NAZCA C2
Also '50s cars and assorted Lincolns and Imperials.
(I love American cars.)
YES!Originally Posted by CdocZ
Incidentally, modern Cadillacs and Lincoln don't rely on torque anymore- the hp rating now is usually more than the torque rating. And their maximum hp is at a much higher rpm than on older Cadillacs and Lincolns. For instance, the hp rating of the 2005 CTS-v tested in the latest (Feb.) issue of Motor Trend, reaches maximum hp at 6,000 rpm. The old 472 from '68/'69 reached maximum hp at only 4,400 (probably one reason why those engines last so long).

Mustang.....nuff said.
House said the perfect woman was a man...now im all confused!!
What is a mile long and hasn't had sex?

heh, the CTS-V uses the LS6 from the Z06, not really a caddi engine. Look at the V6 engine in the CTS though, it does rev to 6500RPMs.Originally Posted by Fleet 500
ok, one thing id like to say about the new z06. i was expecting a cheap 500 horsepower to finally bring the viper down in its own territory (powerful mofo muscle car). i was NOT expecting a 70k price tag!!!! that killed the whole purpose of invading the viper's very well set borders, because now it competes with the viper in price too!!!!!!!! DAAAAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! but one thing that really cancels that out. anyone who bashes the shelby gr-1 in my sight.......will not live long.

The shelby gr-1 is a disgrace to the shelby name and should not be sold due to it's awful performance.Originally Posted by CdocZ

Price has not yet been confirmed. So it can be 60K, 65K, or 70K, no one knows for sure.Originally Posted by CdocZ
as long as it doesnt end up costing nearly 80k or 70k, cause that kills most of its chance as a viper-killer.
