30k miles later:
>chevy trax: 0-60 in 20 seconds as it’s towed to the shop, then the scrap yard
Notice the narrative shift when discussing cars and reliability; they're completely engineered to last 100k miles and no more. It’s going to gut the used market completely

No, no one actually left those things in the (retarded) stock config. You can get a 500 HP SBC right now delivered to your door for under $5k from like 10 different companies.

There is a reason the mid 1970s-early 1980s are refered to as the "malaise era" for American cars.

Yes.
The difference here though is that these 40 years old vehicles are still putting along while those 1.2L shit cans won't drive in 2065 anymore.
