I don't know. Just a little different perspective after seeing these cars go head-to-head with modern cars.

Yeah, those exact same thoughts went through my head as well... Then again, 40-years worth of ABS, traction-control, AWD systems, and suspension design advances in general SHOULD be pretty hard to beat!
If you're bummed that a $100K PT got got spanked by a late-model turbocharged, all-wheel-drive wonder just think about what Nissan or Audi spent to make it happen! lol
