If you could have an xbox 360 brand new, or an atari brand new, which one would you take?
Technology has developed for a reason, not by coincedence. No reason to go with old technology, including cars.

I had a 1970 Boss 302, sold it and bought my 06 S197. I am much happier. I can drive it anywhere. It also performs much better, has a cd player and air conditioning. Sure old cars are cool, I also have a 66 fairlane but for practicality the S197 is miles ahead of the old Stangs.

Speaking as one of the very few on here who's had both (well, our brand new 1967 Stang 289 technically belonged to my mom- though I was the one who drove it 99% of the time
), let me assure you all that there is NO COMPARISON between the two!
The s-197 is SO much better, in EVERY SINGLE RESPECT, that it's like comparing a Porsche Turbo with a VW bug!
The s-197 is way better looking, way more comfortable and luxurious, way faster, and gets more than twice the gas mileage!
It also handles way better (way better!), and is way more "solid".
Don't get me wrong- I loved "my" '67 back in the day, but truth be told, the s-197 is actually FAR superior to even the '67 Shelby!

What a quinella! I love the looks of the classic Mustangs. A year ago I would have taken the 1967 Mustang. But today after driving our 2007 Mustang GT Vert for almost a year, I'd have to say an S197. There have been advances in technology over the years. No disrespect of the classics. They're great. But I love our Mustang.
