I hope they never make a new `Cuda because even if they do put in an all aluminum Gen 3 motor, it will still be a big fat pig.

I totally understand the benefits of having a newer car but here are some reasons why I am doing just the opposite and building up my 73 `Cuda. Keep in mind I also have a 2008 Honda S2000 CR which is a highly capable at the track and auto-x. I actually stopped tracking/modifying my S2000 and just use it to take girls out on dates since chicks can't live without A/C

1)I like working on older cars better because they have plenty of room to work on and are easy maintain.

2)My `Cuda is already gutted and is easier to install a roll cage for saftey.

3)I don't have to smog my `Cuda so I can modify everything as I like it. Very important in California

4)It doesn't have any electronic driving aides so I can actually learn how to drive the car and improve my driving skill.

I don't have to be the fastest or best at anything,
just happy with what I have and making the most of it
