hell i'm too young (45) to have lived american grafiti or even the original horse power wars..
this is an abody site so of course you won't see new challenger builds. go to the lx forums or chally talk. the modern cars are just as much a hobby car as our old junk. hell i don't even like the new fiats and the closed minded guys here have me defending them..lol
But what impact on the fun, enjoyment, foundation and rewards of this hobby? None.
not sure what you are saying here. you saying the modern cars have no impact on the hobby? thats plain wrong. the cars out now influence the youth of today. like the kids that were too young to buy muscle in the 60's and 70's. when they grow up they will want that awesome car they remember from their youth... you saying there is no fun taking say a new r/t challenger that may dip into the 13's all stock and getting it to run in the 11's or 12's? or modifying that modern muscle to get faster and faster in an autocross setting?? thats totally wrong also. foundation??? what's that supposed to mean? these new cars are building the foundation for the next few generations of enthusiasts. and rewards?? you get the same rewards personalizing a modern muscle car as you do a classic rust bucket..:)
