I did read your first post and responded to it. You said that the old muscle cars weren't actually "muscle" ran the ¼ in 14-16 secs and said it was slow.
My response was that compared to the contemporary non-muscle cars, they had lots of muscle and were very fast. And with a little tuning (tires, shocks, etc...) could be quite a bit faster.
Yes, modern cars are often as fast or faster. So what, that doesn't mean that they weren't fast in their time. And some of them are still fast with some tweaks, even if not the kings of speed that they once were.
