The goal should be to build a modernized old car that will hold it's own, not necessarily beat a high end modern car. Seat time probably allowed Brian Hobaugh to beat several GTRs in the last competition. On paper he was down hp for most of the field, but had less weight and more time behind the wheel. The better driver won in the end.
I just bought the wife a new GT500. It will break traction in 1st-3rd if your not careful with the nannies on. Im actually rethinking my hp goals for my 65 and 68 Corvette. Im starting to think 550hp or so might be a better idea than 700, lol.
