He lost me with the Integra comment.
Integra Type R's lose a LOT of people.

My 69 383 RoadRunner had more lowdown grunt that my old V6 11 Camaro. But my Camaro was geared lower and had more top end than my RR. I' m pretty sure my 383 was more powerful than my V6 Camaro but my Camaro had 3 more gears than my RR too. Coming out the Hole I think my RR would win but after 65 or so the camaro would walk it. But if that RR had an equivalent modern 6 speed close ratio manual trans, I'm pretty sure the RR would lay waist at least to 100mph.

In my experience, a modern transmission helps, but doesn't change the nature of an engine, whether it be new or old.
