Where did all the Muscle Cars go?

I should run low to mid 14s (14.2-14.4), which is pretty close to the norm of a well driven stock late 80s early 90s 5.0, at least a 5 spd car anyways. I raced a stock '92 305 RS a while back. I beat him by about 6 or 7 car lengths to 60 the first time we raced, which I was battling for traction up to about 45 mph. The second time we raced I took it up to 115 before I got out of it. He had enough time to pull in behind me during the race that I put chips on his front end because I was shooting some pebbles from spinning my wheels. The people watching said I had him by a HUGE amount. They couldn't even estimate because we were so far apart. It was an automatic, so you couldn't use his crappy skills as an excuse either. It was a very nice car though. Ran smooth. But not fast. Very clean and well kept. A metallic blue with alloy rims. It was nice.
