My guess is they're old farts like most muscle car owners and they don't zip around like them young whipper snappers. I can translate that for you younger guys , if you'd like.
Rember , we bought these cars new in 50's thru the 70's.

Got a question and I guess this is as good as place as any to ask it. As you know I had less than great breaks and very old tires on my Gremlin so in the last 4 or 5 years I never got the Gremlin over 60. Every thing in the world would pass me up on the one stretch of Interstate that has a 65 speed limit but every one drives 70 & 75, Well I always wondered when I left car shows why I never say any of them on the interstate. Well yesterday I think I found out. I left a show and I was running a little over 70 and I passed up a couple of them. I would guess they were running about 60. I went a little further down the road and I passed up three more. My question is if you got this big ass engine in your car and your on a road that you can drive 75 or 80 why are you driving 55 to 60. The only thing I can think of is these guys are afraid they might mess up their $50,000 show cars so the engines are more for looks than
anything else. What are your thoughts.
