Even an "old" front engine is a better performance package. 35 minutes ago, Woodtick said: I like the old Bronco. I would love to have a prerunner, but not much need for one in these parts. You see this shit and instantly know those boys are fun to party with! I always enjoy listening to throttle control before jump approaches.

The c7 is unbelievable at its price point. The cars coming out today are just so damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just talking with an old friend of mine this weekend who has some old hot rods. And he asks me if I am going to get one. Im like fuck those old rustly, smokey rattle traps. The money it takes to restore one of those compared to a new pony car or sports car is just dumb. Its not even in the same league as a new high performance car and these fuckers are getting over 20mpgs! The look on his face was priceless. But obviously he enjoys doing that stuff. Thats fine but I dont have that kind of time and fuck that ill handling, noisy, rusty peice of shit anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I still want a 70 Chevelle SS I think but, if it's performance you want, almost anything new is better. Fuck..think about this...even the most basic Truck/Suv now has as good or better performance as any old muscle. HP and handling. Sure...the new performance cars lack the nostalgia but, "nostalgia" isn't gonna turn a "G" at the end of a 4 second, 0-60 run. Of course, either is a fucking Mustang.

Dont get me wrong, there is still something cool about some of those cars. In high school one of my buds had a 1970 442 convertible with a 455. That thing would melt the tires off and I still have a soft spot in my heart for those. BUT... the quarter panels were all rusted out and it would take 4 of us to put up enough cash to put gas in that thing for the weekend.

There's a reason the mint or really, restored ones are worth so fuckin much. I've got a bud with a 70 GTO Judge. Middle of the road package but original paint, devals and matching numbers. 60k miles and a Georgia car in really nice shape (not perfect). It appraised for insurance at $50+k. Worst part is, I could have bought it for $20k 8 years ago from a guy getting divorced. I passed and gave it to him.....because I'm retarded.

Fucking non matching garbage was getting $100k in the hay day. Hard to believe. My first was a 68 firebird. I built that 90 degree ram air to the hilt. It put my leafs through the trunk! I didn't have the money to fix it properly so, we welded a bunch of trash and bolted some deck boards to the bottom of the truck. LOL!!!! What a fucking pile.

Sharp as fuck. I mean like, I'd buy one like that. I had an 86 (ugly fucking maroon color). I think it was 225 ponies stock. What a pig that was....but I added some nice shocks , some beefy sways and poly bushings . Handled nice. Ahhh...part of my "evolution".
