honestly, it has to do with money. I was blessed to come out of college and not be in debt! like what others have said, back then it was easier to come out of high school and get a fairly nice paying job and get a muscle car. you didn't have to worry about gas prices and I have a feeling it was easier to work on the engines back then and make it the way you wanted.
now it seems like you have to have a college degree and even then, when you go out to find a job, people demand at least 5 yrs experience! For most people college = debt. also the little hybrids sound more appealing because of gas prices they way they are now.

edit: I do see hope in the near furture. Dodge just announced the Hellcat. I feel like there will be a new battle between the muscle cars now!
