Cool video and very true.

Best example of classic car power to weight ever is the Shelby AC Cobra.

Yeah, I'd rather have a 350 HP FBody that weighs 3450 lbs rather than a 475 HP Cobra (GT500) that weighs over 4000 ******* lbs. Same goes for the new Challenger (although it's just a concept).

I won't be surprised if the new Camaro weighs atleast 3900 lbs with the way every other muscle car is going.

Just like the majority of American people, American cars are getting fatter every year.
