Give me an orange 1970 AAR 4 speed 340 6 Pack Cuda over this pos any day. Sometimes people just take modernization too far.

Have fun being left in the dust and the high maintenance. Not to mention awful brakes, terrible handling and low tire adhesion.

I used to work for a company that sold pre-owned modern and vintage Corvettes and other muscle cars in the 2000s. I had the opportunity to drive some pretty rare and exclusive original and restored muscle cars and mostly came away thoroughly unimpressed. I found them mostly sound and fury, signifying nothing - which is why other than with Boomers, the price for most of those muscle cars is sinking or even crashing now. The later generations don’t have the rose-tinted glasses for the original muscle cars (which, BTW, could often be spanked by 1980s mainstream cars) - viewed impartially, they’re not impressive at all compared to the stock cars of the 80s, 90s, etc., so the market is evaporating.
