You nailed it right there! Its amazing how well all vehicles today accelerate, stop and corner--compared to the 60's era cars. My 91 F150 will outperform my 66 Mustang in all of those categories. Not to mention other things like AC, a Defroster that will actually keep a windshield clear (don't tell me you ain't ever rode with a rag handy to wipe the inside of the windows off). REAL headlights, not 2 matchsticks. Day/night rear view mirror, disc brakes, power steering, the list goes on for a while. My favorite, letting off the gas in the winter just to have the carb freeze up and cut off, in 4 lanes of rush hour traffic.
To me its way easier to improve the function of an old Cadet than to bring an old car up to "modern standards".
