[mcrews]

I can't believe they said this!!
Revology is building retro Mustangs w modern components.

"!The 1967 GT500 is one of the most highly sought after Shelby models. With its reproduction Shelby GT500, Revology will follow its proven formula. “We carefully integrate modern technology to improve performance, reliability, durability, ffuel economy, safety, and comfort,” Tom Scarpello, president and founder of Revology Cars, says, “while retaining the essential character and style of the original design.”

Why not? A (presumably) light weight vehicle with relatively small cross section, and a modern engine with good management should get good cruising FE, while having the performance there when wanted. E.g. Lotus, Corvette, &c. Much better than having to push a barn door-sized SUV or pickup through the air.
