I bought a new '69 Plymouth Roadrunner 383 cid AT. Historic data say that its
0-60 mph time was 7.3 seconds and the quarter mile time was 14.7.
A week ago I bought a 2018 VW GTI 2.0L DCT. Motor Trend says 0-60 is 6.0 and
14.5 seconds for the 1/4 mile.
The Plymouth was hard pressed to stop from 60 mph, didn't handle and had
Chrysler reliability, i.e. none. People still lust for them. The only old car
I wish I still owned was a '56 Corvette.

ps. My other car is a '09 Pontiac G8 GT.

Even a bottom end econobox handles better these days.
(Maybe not as fast, but a helluva more "zippy".)
The S-Line was used in a different time and literally can't hold a candle to
much of anything made in the 21st century.
Don't get me wrong, I LUV boatanchor radios, Collins especially, but their
rating on Rob's list make it painfully clear as to their performance.

PS, Yes I DID own a 327/4spd 1967 Camaro convertible and my wife (girl-friend
at the time) had '68 with the Bee-Nose stripe.
Mine had a 2.73:1 rear end and would bang the speedo past 120 MPH. 3 - 4 shift
point was around 95 MPH.
