Muscle cars are only good for going straight. They'll pass everything on the road, but a gas station. The brakes are horrible, as are the suspensions. Don't me wrong I like the look of an original Mustang Fastback, but these cars are really only good for cruising. Think about it, the central theme to any Muscle car get together is the cruise down main street. Growing up in CT, I was exposed to everything car wise. Ok, maybe not Ferraris or Lambos, but MB, BMW, Porsches were real popular during the "Yuppie" era in the 80's. Right now, as it can be seen on Barret Jackson, muscle cars are the thing because the babyboomers are buying the car they wish they had when they were younger. I guess I fall into the same thing, except for me it was Porsches that I lusted for. My car was built when I was 15, to now own one is surreal.
