It make a great daily driver that is fun to drive.
Original 1950s t-birds and vettes SUCKED when it came to drivability and handling.

been listening to this closed minded attitude for 20 years.

guys cant draw a line in the sand and stick their head in it.
hotrodding is 'ok' but a Prius power plant is not???
no difference.

just my two bits

To be fair, there IS a big difference between hotrodding, and putting a hybrid into a classic muscle car. Im all for fiberglass body panels, power steering and what not. I don't need classic muscle to be "all original" to love it. I just need a loud engine with tons of power haha. seeing a firebird runnign around with the sound of a prius.... :/ sorry. Just wrong in my eyes.

But again, to each their own. We all have differing opinions. Just don't go posting this on a firebird forum, or expect praise at a car show...
