Sorry for the hiatus but I'm back and here to deliver some news: according to the Lansing State Journal, muscle cars aren't going anywhere. Like everything else meant to survive in this dog-eat-dodge world, muscle cars do indeed hold a future in this society of greater-fuel-efficiency-at-the-expense-of-less-torque in which we live.
"Is performance dead? I think not," said Paul Olexa, head of ZF's North American drivetrain business, in the August 31st issue of LSJ.
In this article, the Lansing State Journal reports that new-age muscle cars actually perform better than their ancestors - they're lighter, use less fuel and even produce greater horsepower than the originals.
So why keep struggling over changing out the power steering fluid in your gas-guzzling classic when you can check out the new age muscle?
