My thoughts exactly. The beauty of these cars, especially now they are heading into vintage territory, is how advanced they were for their time, and how much fun they are to drive. It doesn't matter that it only put out 160Hp. You don't need a modern motor of big Hp in classic car - it ruins the appeal.
I used to drive a 260z, and I doubt it'd beat a stock 6 cyl commodore in a drag, but it was great to blast through the hills to work, feeling every bump in the road and just enjoying the drive. My Supra is verrry quick, and more user friendly, but not as fun to drive... and I kind of miss the unpowered steering feeling of really throwing the car around corners. With the noise, draughts, vibration and driving position (virtually sitting on the floor), it felt like you going a super fast at 80Kph! I don't miss the continual repairs, rust and leaks though!
