My first car was a '68 442. Top speed of 45mph. A 16 year old (me) tore the engine out and rebuilt it. It was then surprisingly fast. A very good friend had a '70 GS Stage 1. Both stock, tuned, and automatics, I never had any problems out running him.
My second car was a '70 340 Duster, 4 speed. I am not sure if I still have the time slips (Green Valley Raceway in Dallas) but I did get it down to the very low 13s. 3x2 carbs, Dana 60 rear, L60x15s.
My third car was (still own) a '67 442, cam, headers, carb, L60x15 road racing tires. Beast of a car and handles like a battleship. I ran this car in the 1/8th and it ran regular high 7s - low 8s.
As I grew up around '60s muscle cars, I am very familiar with Camaros (SS big and small blocks), Z24, and SS RS, Mustangs (GT (427), Mach 1, and Boss), SS Chevelles (big and small blocks), Novas, AMX (really impressive car), Road Runners, Super Bee, Darts, Dusters, and a Daytona Super Bee.
None of those cars compare to our cars of today (handling and reliability).
