HP vs weight ratio has a lot to do with the performance of today's vehicles.
pffft, my truck will to the 1/4 mile in... well it will do the 1/4.
It's a Donk?
Can't image people do that to their vehicles, especially on a beautiful classic like that
True, but that Challenger was the baddest car in the land back in 1979. And you couldn't just go in and buy it....
Oh I know, I'm just saying its crazy how far technology has gotten us. Cars nowadays with gobs of power drive like a regular car...they dont have all the weird "quirks" of driving that the older ones did. Its just neat I think.
No kidding, but I'd take quirky, at least I could work on pre-1990 vehicles... haha
Meh. It's all about matching the tool to the job.
A bone-stock Corvette will beat an F-16 in the 0-60...and get positively spanked in the 0-600.
Or
These are my favorites of "moderately obtainable" cars. If thinking major mega-lotto winnings, then I'd be looking at Koenigsegg, Pagani and Bugatti.
<edit> Oh jeez, I just realized I put this in the "identify" thread instead of the "favorite car" thread. My bad.
Stupidity or whiskey got the better of me, apparently. <sigh> Sorry.

Cars today are just unreal fast. I watched a clip where that drag raced the top 7 fastest Hondas in the US. These cars were dynoing up to 1300 h.p. and street legal. One owner said the best his ever ran was a 8.8 second quarter. Crazy thing was one of these cars had a 4wd conversion with just 900 h.p. and he smoked the rest of them. If you're spinning you're not winning.
