Cars are also waaaaay faster today than they ever were in boomer days. You could smoke all their 1960s and 1970s muscle cars in a fucking Prius lol, never mind something that's actually engineered to go fast.
I have lots of issues with modern cars. Horsepower is not one of them. Idk if you can right now, but pretty recently you could spec a 300hp minivan from most major automakers.
My biggest gripes are garbage/dangerous interfaces (use PHYSICAL CONTROLS, fuck touchscreens!), monthly/extra fees for features that should be included with the cost of the car, and invasive tracking.
Oh, and manual transmission is becoming harder and harder to find.
Preach
I mean, probably not with a Prius, at least the first several generations of them. But definitely with something like a WRX or a Civic type r. And those aren't even expensive cars. Modern electric cars definitely blow them out of the water. The electric mustang would absolutely crush any mustang from the 60s and 70s
IDK, Prius has 0-60 in 7 seconds on the base model at least for the newer stuff. The Prime is closer to 6 apparently.
My point was mostly that even a car that is widely regarded as slow by modern standards would have been considered very fast back then.
Even if you discount electric motors with the acceleration benefits they provide, there's still a shitload of modern cars that are way faster and handle way better than anything they ever made.
Something about this felt wrong but I looked it up, and…. Nope. You’re absolutely correct! Damn. I had thought the classics were much faster than that, but a 1964 mustang only topped out at around 100mph.
You picked a car with a small engine (for its time anyway). I don't think a 64.5 mustang was ever considered a fast car.
Fair point.
I've done 120 in a basic-ass sedan lol, by modern standards their cars are shitty and slow.
Gotta admit, some of them look good though.
But this is about the latest ones, that is the whole point.
