We have lighter bodies that accelerate faster and have higher top speeds. We handle better, brake better, our transmissions shift quicker and stronger and are more durable, and we don't need to rev at 4,000 RPMs while going 40 MPH. What did you guys have back then? Turbo 350 and Turbo 400 transmissions? 4 speed manuals with no overdrive? LOL! Come on man. We have 6 and 7 speed manuals. We have more creature comforts, more options, our cars are more reliable in all weather conditions, can drive in rain and snow without tire chains or sand bags in the trunk. Shall I continue? So by your definition, how are our modern V8 Camaros NOT Muscle Cars? There is literally not one category where the old Muscle Cars can out perform our new Muscle Cars.
Everything you just said tells me that the 5th gen isn't a muslce car, AND is exactly why I wouldn't consider my car a muscle car.. I'm only 29 BTW...
