remember when
I started driving in the late 50's so I grew up with the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's. I never had a true muscle car but did have some big V8's. Back then you either had a stick or a 3 speed auto...

Since we are already off topic......
Tesla is a great car. But I really don't think that Ferrari or Lambo really give too much thought about it. Straight line performance, especially short distance acceleration, is about reaction time and traction. While 0-60 and 1/4 time is important to some of those owners, most seem to be more concerned about peeerformance above and beyond that, including how the car handles. The top brand sports cars still have a huge advantage there.
And in regards to a brake job, I spent less doing that on my Porsche than I have on my past RAM. Where they get real expensive is if you have the ceramic brakes, but those last 100,000 + miles.
