Compared to what’s available now, no, they are not considered as fast. Still fun cars, though .But we’re talking 50 years of technology….

That’s just it, they are clueless, not only were the cars fast, but as others have already pointed out, the tire technology was very scetchy compared to today, look at the speeds the 917s were achieving back then, hell, look at the Superbirds speeds on the track. Those were Real men, they weren’t raised by women, they had an actual Male as part of their lives to raise them.
I remember when the Vipers 1st came out, it was the first car in my driving lifetime , and those of a certain age remember being taught to drive like there is a egg between your foot and the gas pedal, that was the 1st car that it truly seemed to matter. A few months later , I was back, my friend told me to take his Viper out and and tell him what I thought. Well, he had sent it to Hennessy, as if it was not fast enough before. Wow, is the only way to describe it. Truly a car that demands respect or will hurt you.
