We are entering a Golden Age of motorworks. The power output of even the 4 cyl. machines is amazing and the aftermarket is thriving. The manufacturers are producing increasingly more powerful engines and retro styling is emerging as a dominant theme. Back in '87 my Mustang GT's 302 was rated at 225hp. How many family sedans top that now? Diversity is good for us.

Sooner or later we'll be next to one of these muscle cars at a light and I guarantee they will launch hard. Yesterday I even had a kid in a Crown Vic jump the light. I could care less and won't take the bait. I've noticed that guys who spent a lot of money on their BMW's, Saabs and Audi's drive a lot more aggressive when I'm in the Porsche vs. my SUV. But the point is that Porsche is one of the standards they will use to benchmark their ride. IMO
