Fan appeal stops when someone has no idea what kind of car they are looking at, new or old. I never cared much for Dragsters but liked Funny Cars when I could recognize the body. Not so any more. Same goes for Pro Stock.

My favourite cars are still S/S and some Stock or the old M/P's (please bring them back) but take any car, plaster it with too many decals, some weird space age wheelie bars and some obscene hood scoop and the car no longer resembles what it once was. Sure some of these are necessary, but the average person doesn't "get it". I have a lot of people young and old comment on my 67 Mustang (bracket car) because it still looks like a 67 Mustang.

Young kids may recognize the new Mustangs or Cuda's (for now) but none of them know what a S/S car that's a FWD conversion used to be. I like them all, but have been around to see the changes and some I like more than others. I really don't think it's an old vs new thing, more a case of how you show what you've got.
