Did 2016 kill the Car Culture?

[Cheezy]

Check out this story and tell me if you agree or disagree. Did the trends of 2016 finally reach the car culture, or do you agree that ≈500hp is enough?

I think it depends on what you're trying to do. I personally could live with <500hp. But wants and needs are different

Disagree.

Has the car culture changed in 2016? I think that is the real question. We (as humanity) have been modifying and tinkering and changing our cars to perform better or look better for at least a hundred years. The enjoyment we get out of it isn't bragging rights (meh, sometimes it is), nor is it a dick measuring contest. It is our own personal pursuit to make what we have better in any way possible.

So, Has the car culture changed? Maybe. Has it changed for the worst? I don't think so. The car community has been brought closer together with use of online forums such as this. It sure is a hell of a lot easier to be a car guy in this day and age.

I don't think the Mustang drivers are helping.
