I'd still take a GTO Judge over a newer car. Pop like a 502 on, and I'd never get pulled over. Cop cars max out at around 150, I could top that. On Monday 06 September 2004 13:39, James Knott wrote:

That's because cars now have wussy ass engines instead of V8 engines. The only car I can think of worth getting brand new is a Maclaren F1, and that's only because it will do 0-100 in 4 seconds and maxes out at 391.
The clock speed in that IMSAI was 2 MHz. Today's computers are over 1000x that. So, when that Maclaren can do 0-100 in 4 mS, then we have a valid comparison. Incidentally, both the V8 in the Monarch and the V6 in the Taurus are rated at 150 HP, but the Taurus is the better perfomer and gets better fuel economy.
