What is the diffrence between cars in 1960 and 2008?
[Edit]

mostly... its the smog laws. You can beef up the motors in a pre smog car all the way up to 1974. Also, the older cars are steel and metal, they were built stronger and a better quality. The newer cars fall under smog laws, these you can not beef up. they are also built more with fiberglass material, to collapse on impact to take up the shock, instead the driver and the passengers. Most new cars come equipt with safety features such as air bags and seat belts. Whereas the older cars do not.
