Worse than that Collin, it was only the 63-67 Vettes. So a 4-5 year production of cars where the previous and post models never got into the top 100. WTF???

As much as my love for my M5 has faded... it's still a much better car than a ****ty Nova. At least the M5 turns and brakes nicely.

Turning and braking are for the wussies. Real racers in the 60s-70s don't turn or brake The porsches and bimmers in those years don't stand a chance against the might american irons.

This month. Get it before it's gone. Good mix of nostalgic and new cars in there.

Actually the funny thing is that the times those muscle cars run (stock) are whooped by today's Ms and 911s.

Not surprising. Technology advanced. We're able to get more power from the same displacement. A more interesting note is the straightline performance of modded muscle cars of yesteryears is still comparable with the techno advanced cars of today.

People were doing 10's or below 30 years ago. Less efficiently yes, but still 10's, for $5000.
