BTW: Here is a very recent wreck of a 1970 Chevelle Convertible showing how it handled a crash on the highway at speed...  |
You trying to scare me? Lol just because some dumbass decided to test the cars abilities and potential on the street doesn't make me want one any less. Safety is a good thing if you're into it. But I rather a vintage muscle car over what we have today and someday ill look to get one and include today's technology into it a bit. I know those of old had a hard time stopping ect. But you can install some of that technology we have today into them and they're pretty badass IMO.
And I do agree with your statement about what dogooders and lawyers want. Thing is, of you're buying a sports car like an SS camaro with this much power ect. Sure you want to be protected but I think they take it a bit too far. Idk. I think they could've made these cars about 600 lbs lighter with all the plastic n shit we have in it to make it race worthy and still be safe. For instance no back seat, bare bones edition would be nice on a car like this. We should be able to allocate and pick & choose what WE want in the car.
