I don't know about a "lot of cars" that are faster. There are some, but your pretty deep into "exotic" land finding a decent comparison.
Reminds me of comparing a Cobra to todays modern cars. You know your traveling in the right circles when people say things like, "Well the new Vette, Ferrari, Lambo, etc. is faster, better, than an original Cobra." OK then, were talking about a car from the SIXTIES being compared to a modern car built some FORTY years later. No matter how you cut it, that's an impressive compliment considering the age's of the cars being compared!
