Muscle Cars - Allow all pre 1972(ish) type Sedans to run in the class

moe · Veteran Member

i say no, because an escort is not a muscle car,
i have no problem with more cars in the class, but an escort is not a muscle car

gref · Senior Member

agree with moe and the Scaley escort has an FF motor in it I think? thus meaning faster than standard 18k

I say yes ,
I like this era of cars and many miss oout on getting a run , but as suggested parity rules are a must (18k mabuchi etc )

I say Yes, and agree with Moe, I do like the look of the Escorts, however it isn't a Muscle car. Maybe use the Escort for a "special" event.

Voted No, I like these and the Alpha's & Mini's, but they just aren't muscle cars, Sedan Class yes, muscle car no

I'd like to open it up a bit more too.
Perhaps change the class name from Muscle Cars to 60's/70's Aussie Tin Tops or similar?
That way Moffat's Escort (I like the look of Manimmal's) could get a run and some of the other cars that ran with (not against) the Stangs and Camaros...?

The Escorts don't turn as nice as the Stangs and Camaros, but leaving the FF motor in would even things up a bit on the straights, wouldn't it???

Come to think of it... Yes, parity allowance a must.
