1. light years better.... um unless you got a degree in computer science then um id say your wrong! (you don't have all this computer equipment on them!)
2. these "new" cars do not get as great fuel economy as you think prior to 30 yrs ago! ... take for instance you can get a (lets just say) a VW jetta TDI and some "moonshine" equipment and literally make your own "freedom fries" fuel! for pennies on the dollar compared to 4.5 to 5 dollars a gallon of diesel!
3. 300 horse v6 mustang???? now is that "factory rated" or "SAE rated"????
