Built Vs. Bought

Quick, who wins? We’re talking road-course times for the ultimate hot rodded, old ponycar versus a top-of-the-line, new ponycar. The time has come when it’s a legit question. Today’s hardcore Pro Touring old muscle cars have matured into serious performers without being rowdy race cars, and late-models are finally making horsepower like they really mean it. It’s not like 1982, when the all-new Z28 out-cornered any old muscle car (no matter how stiff the springs or how new the KYB Gas-a-Just shocks), and the older muscle cars dominated on the straightaways (no matter how many bolt-ons you tried on your new Z28’s anemic 305).
