Yeah you've gotta love people who idolize 60's muscle cars - even though the fastest ones generally ran like 15.x 1/4-mile times and had shitty drum brakes and almost no cornering ability whatsoever.
Sure they look and sound cool, but they're not fast - not even in a straight line. A modern 2.0T 4-cylinder economy car is as fast as most vintage muscle cars.
(the original GT40, of course, was NOT slow - but it was also not a street car at all)
I'd love to see more race-inspired engines and other tech in street sports cars, but people wouldn't like any of it. It's loud, harsh, jerky, complicated, expensive, and requires attention and maintenance.
Ppl were bitching that the new GT40 was not 40" tall (but 43") hence the GT40 name.
But the GT40 could only fit like 5'9" or smaller dudes :laugh:
I swear...
About older muscle cars... agreed. Not only that but they had the shittiest transmissions known to man 2-3 speed automatics in most or at best a rock crusher 4 speed manual with throws longer than a wheelbase of an economy car. :laugh:
