Author Topic: American Muscle Cars age better than exotics? (Read 29495 times)

Just saw that pic of Jay's older Ferrari which made me think about how those cars age. To me it seems only the new ones are always cool. Now when you see Magnum PI's Ferrari it appears just so dated. Yet 40-45 year old Muscle Cars still have that badass appeal. I am sure some exotics age better.

But let's face it the Lamborghini Countach just looks silly after all these years. Like a kit car or something from Back to the Future.

Which would you rather drive? I know this car has been completely reworked but I am talking purely appearance wise it looks more badass to me than the Lambo.

Back to the future is better than back to the past so I'll take the Lambo.

Mustang looks like a horse and carriage.

I'd agree quad... American muscle cars seem to have a timeless appearance... supercars do seem to look very old very fast.

There was a time when you could get an older Ferrari for under $20k, but now they are consider collector cars and the price has gone up big time.

A friend of mine bought a Ferrari and said it was a mistake. That the day he drove it off the lot that he'd never get his money back on it. That you can't drive it anywhere without fear of potholes, or parking it and getting dinged. He basically cruises on Sunday's and that's it and eventually stopped driving it altogether.

All that being said, my favorite car of the last decade was the limited release of the Ford GT. That car is hot. The only shitty thing is that Ford decided to not put AC in it. I'd be sweating my balls off in it.

Not a big fan of the mod motor either. But yeah, that was an awesome car.

Old and new,
the GT and the GT40

it is funny how quickly ferraris look like shit after a few years. Either it's because they are evolving their car too fast and the new model year after year makes the previous look like shit or our taste just changes real fast.

I used to think the original the old Lexus 400 was the hottest car in the world, now they look like old Camry's

Loved This Car!

I tend to think so to some degree...but I think some 80s and 90s models in both american and exotics look like shit come to think of it

I know Id be happy to buy a 50s, 60s, 70s American Muscle car over an exotic in that era

fuck magnum pi also

Not to mention a ridiculous body kit, and still looks old as shit.

I think as far as American Muscle cars go, it's just that, the Muscle cars. Look back on a 74 Mustang and tell me that shit is cool. It isn't.

Agree. from about 64-72 was pretty good. In the early 2000's they had some ok looking ones that had great drivetrains (Pontiac Trans Am and GTO, Chevy Camaro, Chevy Corvette), but thats about it.
