Man, seeing older cars still walking newer cars is literally the best sight to see from every oldschool lover.

[@coreyjenkins3056]

I was just watching this video and cheering for the Ford, even though I am a Chevy Man by heart. Hard cheering for the Ford by Nature but I love to see any old school car on the road, and especially beating up new school cars like you said.

[@cosmiccloud9382]

I just like older cars, Ford Chevy Mopar whatever, pre 1971. After 71 They ruined the designs completely, and horsepower went from 500 to 95. Now the performance of new cars are good but the bodies are too bloated and obese, That’s why hand built 1960s car resto mods are the best, $200K-$300k worth every cent. I wouldn’t even pay 10K for the new mustang camaro and chargers, too fat and bulky, cheap plastic interior, they drive like donuts and they weigh 4000lbs and you can’t see out the damn window. They can take their damn safety standards and shove em directly up their ass, I’ll only buy 60s classics! There is only 1 exception, 2020 Ford GT hyper car

[@mr.89chevy13]

@@coreyjenkins3056 same, I'm a Chevy manu by heart, but learned to cherr for ford more than dodge though because of all of the people thinking hellcats are the fastest things on the world.

[@mr.89chevy13]

@@cosmiccloud9382 I agree with you on that horsepower part 100%. I do love the way fords and chevys looks before and after 71, just not over 2000 that much. Just imagine if they wouldve kept the big ol engines pumping 400+hp in rest of them cars, now THAT wouldve been cool. Not sure if you're into the 80s caprice classic, but the 84 caprice weighs about 3,300 pounds and having that power would make that thing shine.
