Just my opinion, I am not at all a fan of modern muscle. I think the are way over priced, and it is almost impossible to distinguish one year from the other. To some it up late model muscle cars have no character!! I won't argue the fact that the handling is far superior in the late model rides vs. early model factory muscle, but the after market companys have really come along ways making it much easier to have an early model muscle car handle like a late model ride and still maintain it's character.
