Yeah. Your 289 story happened 55 years ago? With engine technology, transmission technology, rear end technology, handling technology, and most of all, tire technology all taking a massive leap, it would be really hard to make that comparison today.

Take 800 hp, with a modern suspension set-up and some pretty sticky tires and it is a whole different world.
