So which iconic American muscle-boat is the foreign exotic :angry-smiley-038:
I would say its more like comparing a 67 Shelby GT 500 to a L88 427 Vette

pretty much.... I just added AC to my Mistres, I see why it rides so damn good.... there is more resin on both sides of the wood then any other boat I ever saw, and it SUCKS to add AC to one lol

just counted .... 12-7 to the Scarab looks like a convincing win
will throw away my survey on the cig then.
I think Im going to throw away my plan of getting a new boat to difficult to choose:angry-smiley-038:

Hell No !
 
Vette belongs to the sportscar category and L88's and such to Supercar category... Mustangs are just Pony Cars like Camaros and E-Body Mopars with rearseats....

Actually many powerboaters commutes with [foreign] exotica...these boats are that exotic.
And regarding a GT500 vs a L88 that's a no contest as a L88 would put serious hurt on an AC Cobra 427 S/C even...and did.. still holding the speed record @ LeMans in the GT class...not even a GT40 could touch one on pure straight line speed.

I am seriously lost on this automotive metaphor!!
The performance of the boats is the same with a given power???
someone explain please? thank you
