It kills me a little inside every time I think about the cars I grew up with (mid eighties), that were considered performance cars compared to what we have now. The horsepower has more than doubled, the handling and braking are worlds better, the quality has vastly improved, and the gadgets available were things of Sci-Fi back then.

Oh, and the safety, while adding bulk, is worth the trade off. The death tolls prove this.

I think this is going to be looked back on as a pinnacle in performance cars like the 60's are today. I just wonder how long it will last?
