I was born in 75, and from a early age, I developed a huge love affair with the auto... Growing up at my Dad's car dealership didn't help. In high school I always felt I missed the Golden Age of the Auto. Which I always felt was 65-72ish. The cars were faster, more affordable.
Well on a long run I gave this some some thought. And realized that right now, cars have never been faster. Affordable is another debate, but when the average new sedan could outrun a muscle car of 30 years ago, well I think we have it pretty good. So my question is, Where do you guys think we will be in terms of car performance 30 years from now? To clarify, right now a new Z06 Vette will do 0-60 in 3.7 and the quarter in 11.7! Will a Taurus be doing that 30 years from now? Ferg |
