If Quentin did 'remake' this movie...

But he already did a 'homage' to this one with the awful "Death Proof". He should not touch this movie, no one should.

"walk into this world with you head up high"

You are correct. This movie would be impossible to remake. Not because it was perfect but because it encapsulates the 60's and we ain't there anymore.
The genius of the movie is that it takes all the things which made the 60's what they were and twisted them so nicely;
Speed - (I love the MGs, Porsche, Triumph, Jeep...),
Sex - contrary to what the plot synopsis says they were not strippers. They were go-go girls, like M&R's laugh-in.
Violence - as it was becoming so prevalent in the media due to the effects of WW2, Korea and upcoming Vietnam.
Combined with good old greed and, of course,
Huge tits for a generation raised on bottled formula for the first time.
To make the same statement now, I think, would be impossible. First, you would need a Hollywood outsider who had learned his or her art filming the horrors of war who had the genius to not just satirize the culture but twist it by placing those components into the hands of those least suspected.
Tea-party members as jihadists would be only the start. You would still need to address computer driven isolation (Social Networking). I have gone on long enough but you get the idea - it just would not be near as much fun. This movie makes me smile and appreciate living through the 60's

Tarantino has yet to pay homage to anyone or anything.
