In 1964 I hear a lot of people saying these new muscle cars are great, they are so fast, unbelievable power. But they lack the style of our hot rods, the level of customisation, the ability to literally change anything we want to anything we want. They are expensive and won't "take off".

Progress is progress. current and next generations will only buy electric.

The technology will get better and better and yeah they will be way way faster than our cars.

But we love our cars because we love them, they have meaning to us in our lives. That won't change.

Will they beat us at the track, probably...but hot rodding is hot rodding. The next trend will be to retrofit an all electric chassis to a pony car body to whip the Tesla's at the track. Instead of pro-touring it will be called electra-touring

Electric cars vs Muscle cars
 
If you think about we have been adding much more
electronics and technology to our Muscle cars
CNC machines have given us some really cool parts
Most are turbo charging or supercharging with a lot
of electronics to get them to work... I am not a big
fan of all those items but it does keep high performance
moving forward and some of the younger generation to
be interested in 700 hp cars. We used to love to go look
at dual quad or six pack car in the show rooms.. now they
are turbos or superchargers.. Look at the trucks being
offered from Saleen, Roush, SVT ford and Hemi trucks
that really go.

It has helped but as we say not long before the all Electric
things will take over.. kinda like a Muscle car Terminator
