I agree. I do certainly appreciate some of the modern drivetrain/suspension/brake advancements found in newer cars, but I have no interest in ever converting my '71 to such. The raw muscle feel of the "dinosaur" tech from that era is, to me, a very desirable aspect of this car. Rather than trying to make everything old feel modern, I'd rather just have separate cars that offer different but more pure experiences, similar in range to your collection in fact. Perhaps if I could only have one car or toy I might feel differently.
