so, only the top level trim 1968 mustang gt500 is faster than a modern mini-van. any mustang with a smaller engine was slower.

Your comparison is silly just as it would be to compare a sopwith camel to a lockheed martin lightning II or Hervé Villechaize to Andre the giant.
1968 Mustang GT500 vs 1968 mustang w/200ci 6-cyl and slushbox. That's a valid comparison.
2023 Dodge Demon 170 vs 2023 Honda Odyssey. That's a valid comparison.

The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170—the last of Dodge's Last Call combustion muscle cars—is a 1,025-hp street-legal drag racer that rolls out of the factory with the claimed ability to rip off a 1.66-second 0-60 time and an 8.91-second quarter mile at 151.2 mph on a prepped dragstrip.
We should mention that you're not likely to see the Demon's acceleration performance verified by theMotorTrendtest team in the future. Dodge's times were achieved on a dragstrip prepped with VHT, a sticky, tarlike coating that improves grip. On an unprepared surface like we use, the 0-60 time will likely be in the low two-second range, and the quarter-mile result will be firmly in the nines. Kuniskis also stresses that Dodge's 0-60 and quarter-mile claims can only be matched under the best possible circumstances. You'll need a meticulously prepped track, perfect air, and a driver that has mastered the art of launching the Demon.
