Yeah, I've done a lot of research into the Trans Am cars & have added a lot of their "technology" if it could be called that, into my historic racer, so I understand the limitations placed on them, but that wasn't the point of the question really, more to see how people felt about a comparison between their cars performance & the T/A era cars. It's all hypothetical after all.
The point being could a good driver like Donohue out perform a P/T car with modern technology & an average driver,ie possibly you, thereby raising the question,....... does modern technology help or hinder a driver s ability to progress to being a better driver or does a modern P/T car hide the drivers poor abilities on track.
