There's more to it than ludicrist mode. Yes, you are correct but it's not the same.
There is the 3.2 beer factor and being 16 that helps too.

there is a lot going on here.
i have been in quad power figure old muscle cars, when the launch, and they are indeed a sensation. thats all however modern engineering. all of it. basically nothing that makes the car that way, is old.
but im talking about the hyperbole that gets tossed around these cars. how many gas station stories have i herd about hemis, and cuddas and GT this's and thats about the front wheels hopping over an apple, or not being able to grab 100 dollar bill taped to the dash ... if ive herd one, ive herd 100.
and just none of that is true. zero. zilch. none.
a gt86 or ND2/3 miata is just as quick as these old cars. and none of those cars hop apples, or you cant touch the dash etc etc.
