It was much harder to control the power of those older cars, and I'm not sure it was ONLY due to the high HP or torque. The feel I got driving those cars was I could very easily end up going sideways if I wasn't careful. Hypothetically, if someone put one of those old V8s into a modern Camaro, or a new V8 into a old school muscle car, would the engine difference alone vastly change the driving characteristics?
