Your going to find a change going on. More so as time goes on. The problems are many. The dreaded price per gallon of gas is one. The other problem(s) is how many cars are left through out the years. Price of the car.
If there bragging on 16 sec cars, I would guess and hope they were stock @ 20. The imported cars from the likes of Japan or so plentyful, there cheap. For younger guys and gals, theres a trend going on. Like hair styles and cloths to wear, cars are important to kids too. If the trend is a Hyundia with big wheels and fart pipes, then thats the trend and not likely to be thrown away by them. Do them a favor, take them for a ride in your ride. Let'em know it doesn't have to be a muscle car and show'em how it's done.
The words cheap and inexpensive should be part of how it is owning your car. Not theres. You do that, "Insult them", you'll just drive them away. They'll think things like Pompus *** with a V-8 and his Holy or holier than thou attitude...sp?... Thats the last thing you wanna do.
Lure them in.
In the U.S. and Canada, you can still get a decent V-8 powered car very cheap. OF course, you'll have to settle on a less than desireable car, but thats not the point or something to be holding your head lower about. Sure everyone would like a *Fill in the blank car* to ride and run. But great rides really do not start with the year make model of a car that has become ledgend all ready. It helps.
Examples of cheaper cars that have great potentail would be a ;
From MoPar;
Later B bodys. The F,M,J body cars.
GM's;
Late Novas and Chevelles and the late 70's/early 80's Malibus, the little box cars. They get light fast, easy V-8 swaps.
(Ever get whooped by a Chevette or a Astro van?)
Fords
Cheap V-8 LX stangs, the never wanted Capri, Mavricks do well.
There out there for songs and a dance if you look.
OK, I'm off the soap box on a school lesson. No more ranting. You have your mission. Be gone, be good, go get a kid and convert him. :toothy7:
