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.
It's as if he's never seen a 10 second early Chevy or something.

What the punk who was born last week also forgets a lot of those old cars still have old hardware and run way faster than 10s- Holley carbs and all. Same old vintage parts and prehistoric technology.

Point is: Old dog can learn new tricks.
