    Stock...... 90% of american "muscle cars" were way more bark than bite. The imports we compare modern american sports cars to are out dated by over a decade now. A stock Silvia would out run probably every single production muscle car from the 60s-70s-80s and most of the 90s. A 454ss Chevelle is a mid 15 second car on a good day. 90s Mustangs (sn95s are the ones im talking about, not foxbodies) were some of the slowest cars on the road. Your avg fullsize work truck would beat a mustang from light to light.

    PreLS1 chevys were nothing to write home about either.

    You actually just compared a Silvia to 60's-80's Muscle cars ? That is like comparing a Ipod with a Cassette tape.
    A stock 5.0 would ruin a Stock silvia owners worst nightmare.

    we're talking muscle cars vs imports.... the only muscle cars that are "in another league" apart from traditional import sports cars are late 2000s. All the import kingpins went under in the late 90s.
