    Jump

    Disagree. Jump was a great song.

    Drop Dead Legs is the best song, of course, on the album.
    The synth is awful. Totally agree with Race.

    And Hot For Teacher is the best song on that album. CHRIST!
    Teacher is the 2nd best song.

    But if you can't get behind Drop Dead Legs as #1, you're basically an IROC-Z owner from Kent.

    IROC-Z owners from Kent basically constitute the stereotypical DLR Van Halen fan in the 80's, and I am totally in for that.

    Matter of fact, if you were of legal driving age and didn't own an IROC-Z in the 80's I would go so far as saying you're not a real DLR Van Halen fan.

    Feeling Good on Muse's Origin of Symmetry album.

    They included it because it's the singer/guitarist's mom's favorite song.

    So back in my childhood, Old Man @YellowSnow owned a smaller Chevrolet / Oldsmobuick dealership. Normally, he drove Corvettes in them days, but one day the Vette was getting services or something so he drove home an IROC-Z off the lot. Man, those things were underpowered pieces of shit.

    Yeah, pretty gutless until the 5.7 came out, although there were different levels of power in the 5.0 engine depending on trim level.

    Fun fact about the Vettes of that era is that Buick had the fastest car under the GM umbrella with the Grand National / Turbo T / GNX. I owned 1987 Turbo T for several years.

    It's crazy looking back how gutless the mid 80's Chevy small blocks were. My Dad's 1984 Vette had a 5.7 putting out 210 HP and 0- 60 in 7.0 secs.

    My big, heavy ass Toyota Canyonero has a 5.7 liter IForce V-8 has 383 HP and does zero to 60 in 7.2.

    I think they started to taper off after 77…2 friends of mine had 77 Zs, and they kicked ass

    The Z28 (Camaro), like all American muscle, went limp-dick after '74. Dark tims from then through the late-80's.

    Nowadays, even the base Camaro turbo 4-cylinder would kick ass on almost any muscle car of yesteryear save for the big 396's, 440's, etc.

    Easily. When we were in HI last fall we had the shitty base model Mustang covetable which I think has an inline 4 with like 310 HP. 0-60 around 5 secs. It was fast as shit.
