Nice car

However, many people do not realize how far performance cars have come.

A STANDARD Mustang GT prices at approx $35,000 out the door.

It has 460 hp and 420 lb of torque. And a top speed of 175mph.

It will go faster and stop faster than the original GT 500 of 1967, and do so more safely. It will handle better and provide all the creature comforts you’re accustomed to.

It has a lifespan of no less than 150,000 miles if treated badly, 200,000 with no abuse and regular maintenance.

And get 25mpg on the freeway.

You could not buy those parameters at any price in 1967.

Correct on all counts. Amazing cars.

A far cry from the big 350 CI V8’s I started on, and with only 5 liters (300 CI)

I still miss those old ones, though.
