    Cars are also waaaaay faster today than they ever were in boomer days. You could smoke just about all their 1960s and 1970s muscle cars in a fucking current day Prius lol, never mind something that’s actually engineered to go fast.

      I mean, probably not with a Prius, at least the first several generations of them. But definitely with something like a WRX or a Civic type r. And those aren’t even expensive cars. Modern electric cars definitely blow them out of the water. The electric mustang would absolutely crush any mustang from the 60s and 70s

        Something about this felt wrong but I looked it up, and…. Nope. You’re absolutely correct! Damn. I had thought the classics were much faster than that, but a 1964 mustang only topped out at around 100mph.
