thats jsut the problem, they aren't very much of a performance car. if you take a look at the specs you will see cars that weigh too much, don't launch well, and really don't handle too great. what is all that money paying for other than a name?
real muscle cars were light weight and built for 1/4 wars, nothing else. all of this "retro" stuff they are building now never happened, hell rat rods are a fabrication of the late 80's when people were finding neglected old hot rods and started crusiing them "as is" just to enjoy them again.
it is the old advertising scheme, the sizzle sells the steak, unfortunately these days the sizzle is only seems to be selling a small hamburger at the steak price.
