High Tech Muscle Cars

Most automotive enthusiasts will agree that the fastest, most powerful, best handling, and highest quality muscle cars ever produced are being made right now. Many are available on the showroom at a dealership near you. Looks, styling, and esthetics are a matter of personal preference, but I think today's specialty cars are among the best looking ever produced as well, though we all have a love of the looks of many of our favorite classics.
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.

The 435 horsepower, 32 valve, double overhead cam, fuel injected, aluminum V8, in my 2015 Ford Mustang GT.
