I do prefer older cars myself and have never owned anything newer then my 92 exploder and I have to say it may be one of the least reliable cars I have ever owned. My preferred year range is mid 60's to mid 70's. decent sized cars with a good amount of power. As for new cars being faster....mabey, but I would put my money on my 1959 Buick Electra against an brand new honda any day. It was made back when cars had power. Not because it was suposed to be a hot rod but because thats just the way it was done. Its powered by a 401 cid NailHead They named the motor the 445 Wildcat because it made 445 ft/lb of torque and 325 hp stock. and everyone agrees the heads dont flow worth crap. if the designers had actualy put more effort inot them like they do today it could have easily been up around 550 ft/lb 45 hp. the only place a modern car could beet it on the street is in cornering. and even then I am a good enough driver and can stuff enough tire under it to give most hondas a run for there money around corners.
Now that I have praised the cars of the past I should also say that I do like modern cars too. I like alot of the modern styling out there almost as well as I like the older styles. In my opinion almost any car is a good car
