Technology always wins in the end, but I'm still stuck in the 60's and 70's when it comes to cars.

No matter what people say I still think old muscle looks better

You can never beat the cool factor of old school muscle

[mikepoint]

Even though I own a 2016 Challenger scat pack, old school hot rods all the way . If it weren’t for the oldies the new cars wouldn’t be where they are today . The classic styling cues are timeless . Thanks for sharing .

I like the fact most old school muscle are car guys who built their rides, new school just went out and bought some speed.

I prefer older muscle cars, they have a soul ;)

They are Both Badass for their day, I would pick nostalgia over new any day. Perfect time machine!

Let's go by looks, oldies win every time.

I still love the classic cars they got style

A bunch of supercharged cars against naturally aspirated ones.

An interesting lesson: carbueration vs fuel injection, torque vs horsepower, and gearing differences. In most of the matches, the old timers get the jump off the line (torque, low gearing, high fuel portage), but the youngsters make up and take it in the top end (horsepower, injection). Also, the old timers are typically heavier bodies, with the young bucks not only lighter, but better suspension and traction device systems. Good post. I do agree with an earlier post: a lot of oldies out there running in the 9's that we didn't see here.

I love old and new muscle cars, but old definitely have more personality and a bit more about them!

[delljr]

The facts are real cars guys dont knock another persons car, what ever you drive, whatever your dream cars is...
Enjoy !!
But if you're going to build it, dont go cheap, really build it. You dont buy horsepower and torque, you buy quality and strength and if done correctly it creates massive amounts of power.

69 Camaro best looking classic in my opinion just something about them that makes it look better then the old chargers, challengers, and mustangs best looking modern car are the new challengers hands down last true muscle car especially all Motor 6.4 hemi

"All racers leave your air conditioners turned off"- a sign of the times. I think some of the new cars could still beat the old iron with the A/C blowing cold, if it weren't for leaving water on the track. I've got a garage full of old muscle, but I have to admit that the best muscle cars ever built are coming off the production lines today. Young guys, enjoy (but try not to kill yourselves 'cause then you miss all the fun).

After the shame of the 80's and 90's era.... it's great to see American Muscle back again.

[mikeyerke]

Came to the comment section for all of the drag racing “experts.” Not disappointed. 🏁

60's muscle car $3500
New 2017 car. $35, 000
I'll take old muscle.

Interesting to see a 50 year age difference between the new and old muscle. It's pretty amazing that half century-old machines are able to run with the brand new stuff. There really isn't that much of a difference for being 50 years apart. Imagine a 1970 model car racing something from 1920, or fifty years from now an old 2019 car racing a 2069 model, assuming such a thing will even exist a half-century from now. I was a kid 50 years ago and we would have been very disappointed how little cars in 2019 have changed compared to 1969 models. Not only do they not fly, in the case of the Mustang, Challenger, and Camaro they even still have the same names and resemble their 50 year old ancestors.

kinda sad that the new muscle car drivers needed to be reminded to turn their AC off when drag racing, lol.
