I don’t think people are buying vintage cars for the ride quality. The owners I’ve seen with them see it as a passion.

Much like the McLaren F1 has a cult following, yet no traction control or turbo.

So great that you picked one of those rare outliers. There's nothing quite like the McLaren F1, not then, not now.
How about an older Porsche or Mercedes? I stand by my original statement.

I had a friend who collected and restored very old BMWs. He certainly wasn’t doing it for the ride quality or features vs a modern car. I just picked the F1, because it’s a shining example of a car people love that is impractical compared to modern cars of equivalent specs.
