A true American Classic for sure!

1995 Holden Commodore VS.

you didnt want to be on a red light on a wet day uphill. no traction control, 3.8l v6. you touch the accellerator on a wet day at lights, it spins up. every. fucking. time. level start in wet at red light, you had to let go of the brakes and let it start on its own, THEN put your foot down.

VT - same engine, same gearbox, about a ton and half heavier, not even comparable. will go past the 260kmh on the speedo easily on.... certain roads in west melbourne.

doesnt stop very well tho unless you have one of the performance models youre supposed to go that fast in... tfw spongy brakes coming down the back side of mt macedon and smelling nothing but smoke.... whoops. that poor girl.

oh lord my first motorcycle, 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250. Was pretty good when i first got it, but wasnt long before youd find on long rides youd often only hit 140.... if you were going downhill in a head wind. EXCELLENT for city riding/courier work, and for throwing around serious twisties with not many straights between them. Everywhere else... eeeeeh.... and im not short, so long highway rides often involved me leaning down under the cowling with my elbows on my knees. enough balls and knees down, on a proper twisty ride like whats around where i live now, you can keep up with a litre bike, get off at a petrol station, and laugh at r1 owners who 'need a fucking break'... theyre fucking their wrists and ankles racing like its motogp and im sitting in 4th or 5th with a steady throttle.

Vulcan 900 is a bit more comfortable... but wearing the wrong helmet literally tries to rip my fucking head off if i take off too hard and definitely doesnt do corners well and is not fun braking downhill on dirt or wet road, fucking arse end keeps swinging around on me.

You probably were floating at 100+ mph. Aerodynamics and downforce were in their infancy in the 70s. Might have been generating some lift at that speed.
