Yeah, shpuz, your dad is just set in his ways. When he was your age, those cars were built for straight line performance. Nowadays, it's about overall performance, at least for me. The car is fast in a straight line, but how does it handle twisties? It takes twisties like it's on rails, but how well does it accelerate off the apex? Some may hate me for this, but that's why I don't watch much NASCAR. All out, go left. All out, go left. All out, go left. I prefer F1, the GT Series, and WRC.
The original "muscle cars" were amazing because you got this huge chunk of iron to move fast. Nowadays it's hi-tech machinery moving quickly. I have a hemi roadrunner and it's a monster, but there's alot out there lb for lb that could smoke it. Re: racing I like all kinds, it's just a different perspective & talent for each style.
2 Rules in Nascar - #1) Go Fast #2) Turn Left at the wall

i know they can be uber fast... but we are going from the stock and twisties side of it. and i watched a show on the speed chanel, and they did a test, dodge charger VS. honda mini van. LOL. they heard a runor that the average mini van today could out run a charger in the twisties, the mini van won, and the mini van had 6-7(cant remember) hooters girls in it...(so they would weigh about the same) it was actualy pritty funny..

Well personally i woulndt wanna trust a mini van in the twisties. And muscle cars from ur dads era were built for one thing, straigh line speed. So nowadays pretty much none of those cars would stand a chance in the twisties. See ur dads used to straight line speed, our generation is used to speed through the corners, proper line, fast top end.
