that much is true.. you can hardly ever have your cake & eat it to... but i still consider my 86 Buick Grand National a modern car ( even though its 23 years old) & its bone stock performance numbers were on par or better than most of the current performance muscle... too bad nobody paid more attention to that sleepy old folks car company when the big wigs kinda let them have do whatever & then shut them down after they saw the animal they created .. & hardly no marketing on them either.. maybe its just as well too.. helps add to the value
.. but who in the 80's was gonna pay more for some v6 with that new fangled fuel injection when they could get a v8 with a carb for less $ HA! anyways...
