Muscle and even sports cars died with the advent of electronics. Accelerating fast, cornering fast, going fast all felt more visceral when you controlled or influenced them by mechanical means. Adjusting a dip switch or flashing an eprom doesn’t give the same satisfaction as re-jetting a carb or changing rear end gears. It feels more removed, like you’re waving magic wand at the car rather than getting down in there where things actually happen.
I’m not saying waving the magic wand isn’t more effective, it’s just not as much fun.
