@UunonMopo You are amongst petrol heads here - I don't think you belong. Peace.

thumbs up if you was looking for nvidia gtx graphic card

yep you can upgrade these old mopars suspensions and make they handle much better. And it's not hard, and it's really not big bucks to to do it.

Nah, not a chance. The best that car could do would be a mid 13 second quarter mile unless you went inside the engine. The 2012 Mustang V6 runs a stock mid 13. As much as I loved my old Boss, it wouldn't get close to any of the new breed of performance cars. People buy and love those old cars for the nostalgia, not the performance. You could make it go fast in a straight line with a couple of grand in the engine, but it's never going to follow any of the new cars around a corner

@RHO1953 Say what you want, get some modern suspension components under a car like this and some fat street tires front and rear and it'll outrun most cars including todays camaros and mustangs etc, especially a mopar big block. I've seen decently built 340 small block dusters/darts etc. outrun c5 vettes by buslengths....

@MrPFFlyer yeah, I was there. I had one, all my friends had cars like that. I had a 69 Mustang Boss 302, my chums had Hemi Chargers, Ford Torino SCJ's, Challengers, Camaros, you name it. They are fond memories but don't compare to a new car. A new Mustang V6 will outrun most of them.

[RHO1953]

Get real. As much fun and nostalgic as it is to see these cars and remember them, they are pigs compared to new vehicles. I had a 69 Boss 302 Mustang. I loved the car, it was great, but it can't compare in any way to a late model Mustang. A late model GT is faster, handles better, rides better, smoother, more comfortable, easier starting, more reliable, gets better mileage, brakes better. It is the same with all these old cars. Look at that big pig wallow around the pylons. It is a boat anchor.

@RHO1953 Only in safety and fuel economy, the two most uninteresting properties of a car.
