Its funny, I am having to work at it to beat some of these new corvettes and vipers. Just ten years ago if you built up a muscle car right you could stomp most of these cars at the time. It just shows the muscle car wars are back on but, not in the same sense they were in the 1960s

New musclecars eh? Your average musclecar pre-71 cost around $3700 and put out close to 400 horses (RWHP be damned). Any new musclecar today coming close to 400HP is gonna run you what...$40,000 after TTL, interest, etc. I'm pretty sure the average schmo back in 69 could afford a nice, fast musclecar back in the day. Those old hi-po Dodges, Stangs, and Cammy's weren't just for the well-to-do-folk (disregard the ZL-1's, BM's, HEMI Darts, and your AC Cobras).
What I'm saying is nowadays the average joe can't afford a factory musclecar so they build it themselves. Judging by the cars on this board, most of you could whip a $175,000 exotic for about 3/4 of the price you put into your rides. I like the idea of building something that's over 35 years old with your 2 bare hands and then proceed to kick the crap out of 98% of what comes off the assembly line...worldwide. Love the new Vette, but gimme an old 68 Stingray any day. Wait a minute...Barret-Jackson has'nt priced those out of my range too have they? Ya'll be cool.
