I've owned several old Mustangs. One was a red 66 Fastback that I restored myself and took to car shows and cruise nights. One day at a car show a little boy (maybe 4-5 years old) holding his Dad's hand walks up to my car and says "Dad....look....a Mustang". Everyone, young, old, knows a Mustang, a Corvette, a 442, a Nova etc. I doubt, 25 years from now a 5 year old will look at a Honda Accord (nice car don't get me wrong) and say "Look Dad...a Honda Accord". I'm a car guy and I can hardly tell any of the cars apart today. They just don't stir the senses much anymore
Maybe your senses aren't what they use to be.

Default This is what's coming our way...

Had a '70 440 Roadrunner back in the day. I'd occasionally take it to Epping on grudge night; would run high 13's. I miss it dearly. However, a drive in this beast would be a whole new ball of torque! I'm sure I could get used to the banshee scream of the turbine-sounding motors vs. the roar of a big block.
