And I'll add, there aren't many old cars that will run stop light to stop light, or 1/4 mile, or top end, with the new cars IF the old car is factory stone stock.

Forget the Demon, forget the Hellcat, I'll even forget the Scat Pak, just give me a new R/T and I'll pretty much clean the show room floors up in '68, '69 & 70.

Regardless, it's fun to race, and more fun to win it. But if we put a 5500 8" converter, 4.56 gears, some super sticky drag radials, all behind a 408 stroker in a 3200 lbs a body, then beat a bone stock new car in a 0-60 race, ..... well...……….. LOL

I agree these new cars are stupid fast. I have drove and rode in all kinds of old muscle cars. There was 3 that where just ridiculous stupid fast. One of them was a 1936 dodge brothers pickup 426 hemi omg it was life changing! But for the most part stock old cars won't hold a candle to new ones. Hell even the new v6s are fast as crap. The new mustangs with the turbo are quick. My buddy has a 2014 Camaro with a v6 5speed its probably just as fast a a stock 340 duster or dart maybe faster. The 5.0 Mustangs and the new camaros and the challengers are quick. They are efficient also. Too bad there so darn heavy lol
