   As one who was born in 1952, Ike’s first presidential year, I could not agree more!👍

   We need more Ward Cleavers, less pronoun discussions!😂

   People born in the 50s absolutely did not have the fastest cars…

      They did have huge engines though.

         Here are some stats. My 10 year old econobox has better performance stats than a 1950s American sports car:

         1955 Corvette
         0-60 time = 8.7 seconds
         Skid Pad (g) = 0.86
         Top Speed = 120 mph

         2012 Ford Focus
         0-60 time = 8.0 seconds
         Skid Pad (g) = 0.86
         Top Speed = 138 mph

         And then,

         2022 Corvette (base model)
         0-60 time = 3.8 seconds
         Skid Pad (g) = 1.14
         Top Speed = 184 mph

         So much for the fastest cars…

         RE: 2012 Focus – I can vouch for the top speed and I’ve actually done slightly better than 8.0 seconds o-60 (more like 7.5). I’ve never had it on a skid pad, but it handles surprisingly well for an economy car and the suspension is pretty well sorted.

            Now, it’s totally unfair, but compare the newest Vette with, oh, any performance E-car. Just can’t beat that torque curve.

            By the way, when meeting a woman for the first time, a gentleman should always say he drives a Vette. Let her find out later it’s a Chev, not a Cor.

               From zero to anything less than about 125 mph, the performance e-car has an advantage over the IC Corvette. Several also have a higher top speed.

               From the standpoints of handling and braking, though, the e-car loses out to the Corvette. Also, e-cars all sound as if they have no soul – which is not the case with a V-8 IC.

               NOTE: I am assuming the e-car is something that is as readily obtainable as a Corvette, not one of the “super-e-cars” like a Rimac Nevera, Lotus Evija, or Aspark Owl, either of which will run you about $3 Million.
