Performance started taking a hit around 1971, when emission standards was increased and low lead fuel was introduced. After that is when they started to make standards for MPG. The problem we had was the lack of technology to keep up. We have come a long way since then, and far surpassed the performance levels prior to the new standards due mainly through new technology.


Also my moving to Florida had nothing to do with lack of state taxes, at the time I didn't even know about the tax thing here.
