What are the names of some sports cars that have high end power?

Why is it just now that we're finally catching up to the car performance of the 1950s- early 1970s?

• We have luxury cars that have anywhere from 300-400 horsepower. We have passenger coupes with 400+ horsepower and we have sports cars with similar stats. Wait, what's that? You're saying we've been here before and that it's stupid to be bragging about this? Ohhhh that's right. WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE. In fact we were there in the late 50s to early 70s. My 1964 Cadillac Coupe Deville is rated at 340 Horsepower. This more than the modern Cadillac DTS and due to all that superfluous electronic equipment and airbag related crap it weighs about the same. My Cadillac also more torque than a Modern day Corvette or Dodge Viper at an astronomical 480 lb/ft. This is not even the most powerful Cadillac engine of all time the 400 horsepower 550 lb/ft torque monster the Cadillac 500. No modern day engine has anywhere near that torque rating. The Impala SS of the time? Don't even try contending. It's high end engine the 427 had over 425 horsepower. More than the BMW 5 series and probably had a much better torque rating. Near the end of the corvettes Full power I believe it was near to cracking 500 horsepower, stock. Only recently has only the highest end corvette begun to crack that level of raw power. This is only the performance related part of the comparison. The amount of plastic in modern cars is around 250+ pounds not including the body panels. (yes, no more metal for us modern folks). Cars of the 50s 60s and early 70s had virtually no plastic. It was all metal, leather, and chrome. QUALITY MATERIALS NOT SHITTY RICER PLASTIC. The fan in my 1964 Cadillac is METAL NOT PLASTIC LIKE THE NEW CARS. The bumpers on my Car? CHROME, HARD, STRONG, LONG LASTING CHROME. If I hit a car I will have a little scuff while your entire front end or rear end will collapse in. (I've seen it happen before. Someone hit my Cadillac). I came out alright while the person in the plastic ricer needed to go into the emergency room. I thought I had a hit a pot hole. Hilarious. Also, I like my interiors to be exciting and revolutionary. Not bland enough to fall asleep to. I'd like to keep my soul thanks. And styling? Enough said. I like to eat Jelly Beans, not drive them. I'll keep my originality thanks. Many topics including leg room, trunk space, ease to work on, reliability, and FAR cheaper repairs have not been touched on because I know they are self explanatory. And although I know you'll ***** about things like Fuel Efficiency and smog/emissions. Let me just say at least my car doesn't have a Hybrid battery that does far more damage to the environment than my car did in 46 years and 86000 miles. And safety? How is thick sheet SteeL and a thick steel frame, not plastic, STEEL not safety? I didn't know plastic is stronger than steel. Gosh. I guess its safe to leave loaded guns in the corner of day care centers now to. I guess your so called "superior" jelly bean cars aren't after all. Japan killed what it meant to be a real car.

• Answer:

  Japan killed the real car? The Lexus LFA begs to differ, my friend. The Toyota Supra begs to differ. The Acura NSX begs to differ. Japan REINVENTED THE CAR. American cars use to have such big engines because they were solid Detroit rolling iron, solid metal. Japan started making lighter, faster, speedier cars. A car could have a 2 liter v4 and feel sportier than a Caddy with a v8. Japan has such a following in the street racing world. I guess it must be because...they killed what it meant to be a real car. Sit the **** down. You. Could. Not. Smoke. My. Car. Period. Lexus IS350. No seriously. It would not happen. I've beaten Corvettes. And I also own a classic car man, 64 Impala coupe. So don't think i'm just some ricer fanboy. There is a difference between a Japanese Performance car and a ricer. Hint: Accords and Civics are not performance cars.
