Apparently the Camaro is from the 80s.... if a muscle car is this slow, I can only imagine how a normal 80s car would be... probably only slightly faster than walking.

Ah yes, "malaise era" vehicles. <shudder>

Late 70's Corvettes with under 200hp...from a 350 V8. Those *weren't* the days!

Now: 400hp+ is fairly routine. New Camaro ZL1 = 580hp. 600+ hp Shelby Mustangs. Etc.

And freakishly fast MINIs also... :-)
