in 1980, my best friend had the 70 Torino GT with the 300hp 351 Cleveland

I had the 70 Nova SS with the 300hp 350

It's amazing that we didn't race them

I crashed the Nova at the local 1/4 mile strip on night after work racing a 70 Monte Carlo

I won the race

Those were the old horsepower ratings, not SAE Net of course.

That Chevy 350 is still being built, in rather modified form of course.

This single passenger Chinese car isn't very sporty, although it is a convertible.

2023 Cadillac Escalade-V: Power and Money (caranddriver.com)

Not my style.
Especially when there a number of full sizes SUVs out there already that are faster, handle much better and cost less.

I got friendly with our salesman at the Caddy dealership in Cincy.  He told me nearly all their profit came from Escallades (and used cars).  He said they sold them at list, every time.  They had one on the floor MSRP at $95K in 2016 and he commented it would likely be sold that day.  One obviously can buy the Chevy equivalent with the same functional tech, maybe not Super Cruise, at much lower pricing.  The folks who buy these are interested in the Bling.

The fact Audi et al. may offer superior performance is not relevant.

Agree.   That’s my point.
