You can talk all you want about modern exotics but back then musclecars were bread and butter affordable. Nowadays, if want to spend 6 figures BUYING something that might catch what some hillbilly built in a garage with a Summit catalog, go for it.
Too funny

Yes, it's all relative. Those cars were straight-line rockets compared to the more pedestrian fare available back then. It's like comparing a P-51 Mustang to an F-35 Lightening...one ruled the roost in it's day, but has been far surpassed by today's more modern tech.
