You just need to see one in person to know. They were the ultimate muscle car of airplanes. They were very big for fighters, very powerful, and loud. They must have been about twice the size of a Japanese Zero. I imagine flying in a P-51 would answer your question pretty clearly.

Someone who has never been in a pre-'74 Porsche might ask the same thing about the long hoods.
