I haven't watched the video yet, but I'd probably rather have a modern mustang to the Supra.
Modern muscle cars aren't as limited as they once were. It seems that a modern mustang or camaro can be a very competent handler and stopper as well as going like stink. That's what I've always liked. When I had my old '65 Impala, I drove it like it was a sports car. I took corners as fast as I could manage. I dreamt of upgraded suspension and brakes. I'd still like to have something old and American from probably '64-72 as a project with a resto-mod thing, brakes, suspension, wheels and tires and a modern fuel injected motor.
I just got far enough into the video to hear "they both have automatic transmissions." Bleh!
Yes, I see a place for an automatic. For a car that I primarily drive myself or drive for pleasure, I want a manual. For a car that I drive with the missus, then give me a good modern automatic and I'm fine.
