You'll find that the new muscle cars will run circles around the old ones performance wise. Faster, better handling, better braking, better fuel mileage, etc. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There is no doubt that the computerized technology of today is better and the suspensions, braking are better. As far as fuel economy they are better today, but when you want a real muscle car, who cares how good the gas mileage is. The older, simpler, true muscle cars were pure horsepower right from the factory without all the high tech gadgets and air pollution BS of today, and they looked a hell of a lot cooler than these copycat cars of today. In fact, most of these newer cars have some kind of older model feature built into them like racing stripes, hood scoops, shape, showing just how popular the older models were. The older ones also came stock, with heavy duty gearing and transmissions, rear wheel drive, factory posi traction and dual exhaust. I don't much about the newer cars, but I suspect they are front wheel drive, I could be wrong and if they are, that kills calling them muscle cars IMO. These newer cars also cost a lot more to buy and up keep than one of those muscle cars from the 60's and 70's, not to mention try and work on one from today, you basically can't yourself. With all the gadgets and technology in these newer cars comes the PITA of replacing faulty sensors etc. and they and their parts won't last nearly as long on the road over their lifetimes. They just don't build things to last like they use to in this country.
