I don't mind newer cars at car shows. I usually only look at one or two of them though, after that they all look the same.

I guess it depends on what you consider new. For me it used to be anything with factory HEI, then that finally gave way to anything that came with EFI was too new. I've since morphed into the 25 year rule that most states follow. That's typically stuff you don't see on the road much nowadays. So I don't mind seeing stuff from the 80's and 90's. Im not ready to see stuff from the 2000's just yet. Maybe early 2000's but I'm turned off after that. New vettes and stuff just don't interest me. I don't even care to see a C5 unless it's a Z06. Certainly don't care to see anything at a show that I can go see at any dealer lot. I still like the shows that cap the year to enter. Many are still 1975 or older. I think goodguys caps it at 1990-ish and that was a hurdle for those guys to pass lol.
It keeps the newer stuff and the ricers from being there, and that's ok with me.

In fact just to add, the younger generation with the newer stuff are now trending towards their own shows and clubs. They frequently put on shows up here that only allow 2000 and newer. So they don't care to see our old stuff either. There's even a club up here for it.
