The good old days of performance cars are NOW.

Yeah...…...….the 2019 Camaro doesn't have the simplistic brawn of the 1969. But it whoops the AZZ off the '69 on paper in EVERY aspect. Same with the _______________ (fill in the blank........Challenger, Mustang...….)

Back when I was building horsepower with no computer chips, turbos or EFI, it took cubic inches, barely streetable cams and BIG compression to make 600 HP. The very last engine I built was a BBC slightly over 400 CID with 12.5:1 pistons and a BIG, lumpy cam. It made 5 1/2 MPG highway on 115 octane fuel. Cool factor ??? Whips ANYTHING made today. Practcality ?? Drivability ?? Handling through a turn ?? Fuhgitaboutit……… !!!!
