Muscle cars used to be about throwing tremendous resources into achieving incredible performance - which I can understand. Yes, you get loudness and rumble and smell and whatnot, but it's all in the pursuit of actual high performance. Otherwise, they'd all might as well be tugboat enthusiasts.
It fascinates me how the ICE community is sort of just ignoring the reality that electric vehicles absolutely dominate the track now. I have a feeling it's kind of like Wiley Coyote running past the cliff and not falling down. It may take a couple decades, but eventually ICE vehicles are going to be relegated to Saturday morning car shows because they will just be so utterly inferior to even run-of-the-mill electrics.
- RickJWagner 1y agoYou’re right about the performance. But the feel of a muscle car is a lot of the appeal. It’s like the draw of a Miata isn’t about performance, either. True gearheads may not care which EV gets down the line quicker. That’s just one part of the equation.
