It’s like Laconia bike week in NH, just a bunch of old dudes blipping there throttles.
Now whether 60’s muscle are fast or not, no idea. I just feel they are going the way of the model T.

60+ …the last local car show I went to, in Minneapolis, the owners were all 60+ and that was 25 years ago! The cars were great, perfect ‘60s GTOs and big block Corvettes but the owners were geezers sitting on lawn chairs reminiscing about being young, from the looks of it. I’d love to own one of those cars but nostalgia is a tricky thing, IMO. Sometimes it’s best to just leave things in the past.
