Funny my son has a '79 Thunderbird with a 5.8ℓ engine which sounds great... but I can smoke it in a drag race with my Honda Fit.

This is true; but OTOH, no self-respecting pimp would ever be caught dead outside a club waiting for his girls in a Fit.

Pimps are rapists and kidnappers. Who cares about their opinions?

I have a pilots license and most of the engines are from the 70's, and they're huge and heavy and high displacement and hardly make any power. Engines have come a long way since then.

Damn they're both ugly cars!

Quiz: when did the t-bird turn into a t-turd?

Ans. 1958 and yet again in 1969:

In contrast, here's a true sports car: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MG_T-type#/media/File:MG_TA_si...

I'd admit the T-bird is ugly but my son wanted a "classic" car to go with his '95 Park Avenue daily driver and the price was right so he got it. It does make you royalty at the gas station!
