1971 muscle car war all over again ?

Do you guys remember 1971, when muscle cars seemed to pile on as much horsepower as they could before the EPA regs went into effect ?

I notice now we have a resurgence in muscle cars, and the horsepower is ever increasing, just as it was back in '71.

Today, you can buy a Charger with over 700 horsepower, and an actual 200 + mph top speed.

I think it's ironic that this gasoline powered cars are dying off, and electrics are the new thing. It's as if Detroit is giving the muscle cars one last chance at glory - just like 1971.

When I saw a Tesla run the exact same E.T. as a Hellcat Challenger, I knew " the writing was already on the wall "
