Well, assuredly the G8 handles better than those old Goats. Hell, my plain-Jane Impala handles better than they did, and not by a little (I’ve had both, believe me).
But, still, I do miss the raw power of those old beauties...and you could actually tell which company made which car back then (and you didn’t need a separate bathroom for transformers).
F$%^, I’m beginning to sound like an old geezer bemoaning the passing of “the good old days.”
