Hot Rod Time Machine: Old vs New
Motor Trend compares muscle cars, past and present

"Just How Good Were the Good Ol' Days? To find out, we've gathered three modern high-spec ponycars and matched them with their glory days ancestors. We're pitting a 2011 Camaro SS against the '69 Camaro SS396 that inspired its design; a 2011 Challenger SRT8 meets the '70 Challenger it so faithfully resembles; and a freshly minted Shelby Mustang GT500 convertible meets its '69 forebear."

That was a neat comparison. I like the old better! But I like the performance of the new shelby.

I remember standing freezing my butt off at my school bus stop in MA every day in Winter. This guy would stop at the stop sign next to our bus stop with his new 69 Camaro SS. Then he would slowly pull away then accelerate. I was 14 and at the time I thought it was the hottest sounding car in the world. How times have changed. Thanks for sharing.

Comparison was stuffy/uninspiring…possibly a presentation for Her Majesty the Queen. Next time hire Top Gear or even a few Good ol' Boys to do the testing/tire shredding.
