I totally agree. This car absolutely blows away early vintage muscle cars in every way. I had a bad assed '69 428 Cobra Jet back in the day. While that was a great ride in it's day, it was a pig in corners & had drum brakes all around. But that was the state of the art in the day. Also got about 7 MPG with the 4.11 differential gearing I had. I thought muscle cars had died when all the smog laws kicked in & the gas shortages of that era doubled gas prices if it was available at all. But no, they figured it out & we saw a resurgence in performance in the '80's again...

It's a great time for us car enthusiasts. Awesome competition among the brands & supercar type performance unheard of just a few years ago.
