There are a couple of web sites that refer to the "Malaise era" of
American autos. After the gas crunch and catalytic converts came
unleaded gas, DOT-mandated headlights and 85 mph speedometers, 55 mph
freeways, poor gas mileage and anemic engines.

My high-school buddy's '77 Corvette with a 350 V8 generated as much
horsepower as my 2002 Camry with a 3.0 liter V6. And weighed less!
