I’d take a classic Chevy muscle car (i.e. 1971 Camaro) over anything off the production line these days anyway...

I'll amen that. I once had a 1970 Chevy Malibu that had been, shall we say "worked on," by the previous owner. That car would move, not like the anemic stuff one encounters today.

And it was downright good-looking, too.

They need to eliminate transmissions, clutches, axles, and drive shafts all together and use hydrostatic drive systems that are manual or automatic.

Cars with stick shifts are almost “theft proof”. The young thugs never learned to drive a standard transmission.

What, in a straight line?

You might drive an Audi quattro, and feel differently. Quattro means full time 4 wheel drive.

Handling, no drama, speed and control. Many optional models and powerplants.

There are many smaller, high performance cars today which blow the doors off early muscle cars.

If all you want is noise, exhaust and spinning tires that is one thing, but if you see an AWD launch that is quite another.

I watched a street race between a 2wd BMW M3, and a Subaru AWD WRX STI. The Subaru won easily.
