Mid-century American V-8 performance cars had some amazing torque figures but the track figures were not impressive by modern standards for a variety of reasons already stated. Technology only moves in one direction, over any period of time. Some of the cars were very fast, just not by the standard of fast modern cars, which have insane performance.
That said, has anyone spent significant seat time in an extremely powerful car that only does one thing well? It gets old in about an hour, unless you’re an imbecile.
