For the price of a new mustang, you could build 4 fox bodies that would out perform it.

For the price of a Ferrari enzo, you could build any car you wanted and out run it.

You can put an rx7 up against pretty much any car in the world $ vs $ and the rx7 will probably win.

You would be hard pressed to come up with an example of a stock car that was the fastest option in its price range. for the purpose of performance alone, the cheaper car will almost always win. just answering the basic question put forth in your article, will new cars ever be good enough to not modify or make people stop wanting and modifying old models? the answer is a resounding NO.

A new 5.0 mustang with some minor bolt ons and sticky tires has the ability to run 10's. Plus will have that new car smell and not have 15+ years of abuse.
