Which I am not. I grew up "back in the day." Saw the rise and fall of performance and the long recovery process when technology caught up.

I would consider many of today's performance cars equally as much a "Muscle Car" as any of those from way back then.

If you don't accept that, it is your choice. I just happen to not accept the premiss that today's cars aren't considered "Muscle Cars" because they aren't as tempermental or bare-bones as back then.

What Muscle Car from way back then could equal the overall performance we have now?

I have been able to get all the horsepower I need, decent fuel economy (up to 25.6 verified MPG on the highway for some trips) and the safety we have built in now.

Regardless of whether it is a Ford, Chevy, Pontiac, Dodge or Chrysler.

Honestly, I love 'em all. New or old.
I was, of course, kidding. And ultimately, I don't care what label you put on them - this car is freakin' awesome.

How about "freakin' awesome?" Can freakin' awesome be a label?
