Muscle cars are dead. They lived from 1966-1971. It's an era that will never be relived. The Corvette, as well as the Cobra, is not a muscle car, it's a sports car. When you start costing twice as much as any other 400 hp car, you lose the privilege of calling yourself a muscle car. Bang for your buck, bang for your buck!! 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!)
