Anybody from Uncle Jim to Cousin Joey can open up a hood and fiddle around and tweak those extra horsepower. Electronics, wires, and chips ended that. Muscle cars are ugly and mean, not pretty! Ugly and mean don't sell no more! And catalytic converters are for pussies!!!!!!!!!!! (As are restrictive mufflers, grrrr!)

Uhm - actually - the fully performance optioned cars from that era were not that cheap.
You often had a base car costing $2500 - with $3000 or more to fully realize the "big numbers history shows us"..
That being said, by your very definition the muscle car is going onsale at your pontiac dealer.
The new GTO
Cheap, powerful and unbalanced...
