To be fair to the new Eleanor, the one in the movie didn't have dubs. The one above is from a wheel company advert  |

Not hybrid blend muscle car related, but still muscle car related,
How do you guys feel about the whole pro touring muscle car scene/idea, like or dislike?
If you dont know what pro touring is, its essentially getting a older car and upgrading its suspension, chassis, electronics, driveline, interior etc to make it a more modern car. Is this sacrilegious to the muscle car tradition, or is it a step forward into keeping the classics on the road.

also, with supercars people already have the mindset of high dollar value and six figure pricetags as a norm, but muscle cars are generally thought of as 5 figure price tags, high power and high fun but not as great build quality etc etc... | And to boot, how the hell do those things get maintained? You're paying a shit tonne for a car with no support in a lot of cases. Quote:

IMO unless the car is just a rolling chassis the only thing that should be upgraded would be the brakes.
