If you don't know much about muscle cars, I wonder why else you bothered to add your two cents to this thread, unless it was to demean and degrade me personally for posting it. You could have added constructive criticism as others did, but instead you decided to attack the messenger with a cheap shot about machismo. I'd like to know, in your vast experience, what the well endowed male is indeed driving these days.
This Equus is a newly manufactured car, therefore it meets 21st century emissions standards and likely gets better fuel economy than a hi-po car made even ten years ago.
Something I'm sure you don't know is that when the EPA tests a new model, they put it in an air tight chamber and test for emissions from the entire vehicle. This has led to sealed fuel systems, enclosed intakes, and greatly improved gasket technology. In the '60s an engine became a greasy mess after 30k miles. Now you'll notice, they just get dusty. This is because the old gaskets leaked emissions, something that doesn't happen today. Entire engines are now shrouded and sealed to keep emissions low, including the one in this car. 98% lower than cars made 30 years ago, as a matter of fact.
It's also a fact that this Bass 770- and other modern performance cars like it- emits less pollution at idle than a 1968 Mustang did with the ignition off.
Now...what is it that you really don't like about this car? Is there anything other than some armchair psychologist's opinion about the people who would own one? Try to contribute intelligently to the thread instead of tossing in a bomb and running away like some hi-jacking troll... and try not to make assumptions about my or anyone else's manhood.
