Wtf did I just watch. Some one munching on magic mushies when they came up with that bizzare concept....
Logan’s Run was released in 1976 and is still rated as 6.8 stars though it’s not polished like today’s movies....

Magic mushrooms probably had something to do with plot development as what normal person would think of a carousel and renewal and then model those thoughts on a human sized fly zapper; mushroom munching may help :p

Back then, all that took a back seat to Jenny and Fara :p:p today it’s a chore to watch :rolleyes:

Heck, today a VF SV6 pumps out 210kw’s while an old HSV VL SS Group A SV pumps out 180kw. Oddly both have similar 0 - 100 times of around mid 6’s and a quarter mile time of mid 14’s...

Coz VE/VF barge arse compared to VL.

Which highlights the point that engines have improved hand over fist but have lost something along the way :rolleyes: Moving goal posts of sorts :p

The fact the VE/VF fat girl will still give the VL skinny girl a run for her money is the case in point.

Now if they only made small light cars with manual cogs and bigger motors, without those nanny aids, infotainment and other driver superfluous crap, they’d be low margin rockets but will sell like hot cakes :p

Being the owner of one such car, I can tell you they weren't popular when they were made....Do some research on Centura and you see they weren't very popular when they were made, but did come with a manual box, big torquey motor and no frills too boot.... :)
