I need a 300 I-6 in my life:
0-60 in 11.2 seconds.... Makes you really appreciate how fast trucks have gotten these days!
Those 4.9 I6s are damn near invincible!

Yesssssssssss, 210 HP! That thing would have stood no chance against my beastly 94 GT with a supremely dominating 215 HP! lol I'm going to have to watch the retro review of the 94 GT against the Camaro. The GT in the vid is identical to the one I had....except for the interior. I still remember the magazine cover of the two of them from Motor Trend.
It's amazing how far cars/engines have come over the years.
That's pretty much the reason you see so many of the new ones plowing through crowds. Drivers can't handle doubling the power in less than 20 years.
Indeed. It's pretty insane how much HP is out on the roads running around for just anyone to tap into. I remember thinking the how fast the Camaro of the day was, over the Mustangs, and impressed with it. All in all, I was happy with my little ole 215 HP GT. I don't even use what I have in my Cobra. It's all retaliative I suppose.
It's a unique time we are living in. Certainly for cars but also the "technology boom" we've experienced in about the same time. This time in our history will most likely stand out.
My problem is that new cars are just too sanitary. A 500HP S550 feels cool, but a 300HP Fox feels like a monster trying to kill you. The sensation of speed can often be more thrilling than actual speed.
exact reason I sold my 2015 GT for a 2003 cobra.
Yeah my girls 2015 makes 40 more whp than my 03 cobra, but she's scared to drive the cobra, feels like she's going to crash it. Said 'you gotta pay attention to too much shit driving your car'
aaaaaaand there you have it folks.
So true Josh, like I've said before, I've driven my friends 14 GT 500 and he's driven my 03 with less HP and he said the 03 is scary compared to the 14. I feel the same.exact reason I sold my 2015 GT for a 2003 cobra.

I look for restomodding the older cars becoming much more popular over the next few years. At this point I'd rather put $35k in a properly sorted Terminator than $50k+ in an S550.
