You comment reminded me of my 68 Chevell..... Over 90 and it would start to feel light on the wheels. Slowly rocking and pitching. Could have been bad shocks. Made me keep it at 75 or under for fear of bad things happening. I had a 73 dodge cornet which would vibrate at about 80.... No speed related issues to report with this mustang. Smooth and stable as 60 at all experienced speeds. Well the hood seems to want to test the latch at the higher end or in gusty high winds. But the latch has held.

The 2000 Cobra R broke that streak but I guess it could be counted as a limited run since it was a streetable race car basically with no A/C etc...

I grew up with the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's and I can honestly say that the memories of the large displacement engines, the louder exhausts and the tires laying down hundreds of miles worth of rubber with each run are used in comparison to todays cars. I think todays engines rev so much smoother and the tire compounds so much stickier that it's easy to dismiss todays cars as quicker. Imagine 2 identical vehicles running identical low 12's except one has a whisper quiet exhaust. In a poll, the louder car would win hands-down. Hence the placebo effect.

Part of it is the fact that we want to remember it as the best time with the best cars, best girls and certainly the best octane, cheapest leaded gas to put in those cars. I like many would love to go back and re-live those times, experience some of my youth over again just like it happened and change a few things I screwed up. Those were "the good ole days" because they were the days of my youth....and we had really cool cars fast or not...LOL.

Love the classics but...better tires, brakes, supensions, and way more efficient engines is the way to go. Overall todays cars are faster and by far safer.

My first new car out of college was a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner, hemi. My 2012 Mustang is FAR quicker than the Roadrunner (showroom vs. showroom). Zero-60 of 6 seconds was hot stuff back then, and pulling one horsepower per cubic inch was phenomenal.

yes it was...lol
