Re: My how the auto industry has changed

I'd say the Mach1 was the last great muscle car in the "just an engine tranny and rear" department.

Now everything has an IRS, weighs more, and feels more "solid" but what I loved about the Mach1 was that it felt like I was basically sitting in a shell with a v8, tranny and a log for a rear end. It was made to go, and that was it. Now everything has gone upscale, and gotten so quiet that people need to have the fake engine sounds pumped into the car.

I'm planning to get a 2018 GT, but I fully expect it to always be missing "something" that my Mach1 had. Something that's just.. primal about it, something that made it feel like it was a 70's car in 2000's.
