The main improvement in recent muscle cars, compared to the classics we all love, is the availability of all the latest technology we have come to expect in our cars these days. We can have a car that will out run a "67" 427 Corvette, and still answer our phone calls, play our favorite music over satellite radio, blue tooth, or several other methods, and provide traction control, anti-lock braking, and dozens of other features we could never have dreamed of 40 years ago.
Through the magic of computer controls and fuel injection, today's cars are much more reliable, and get much better fuel economy than our beloved classics. There is an old saying; "they don't make them like they used to" but I suggest that is a good thing.
