There is no Karen that will convince me that there's anything except awesome when it comes to a SD455 Pontiac TransAm. It doesn't matter if that Tesla is a mile ahead of me... that roar of the beast engine, and the tire squealing, and the groan of the unibody as it strains from the torque of the engine sitting on that subframe to the 12-bolt rear-end (hopefully) in the back... there's so much more to it than just getting somewhere quick.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tesla... and I'm an Elon Musk fanboy (the man can do no wrong), but a Tesla does not replace a 1974 Pontiac TransAm w/ 455-SD and RAM-AIR... I mean... if this wasn't a family forum, I'd probably get a little X-rated excited if you know what I mean.

That’s cool . Personally I owns a RAIV firebird love the car but I enjoy driving the Tesla model X plaid every bit as much and probably more.
It’s every bit as good looking to me. And it serves way more functions. Head to head it’ll blow it away but my turbo 69 firebird 455 will destroy my RAIV also.
It’s the history of the RAIV I have that makes me keep it. Not so much the RAIV history but it’s racing history
