I once raced a Olds 442 w/350. He jumped the light and I still spanked his a$$. I flew by him like a little blue rocket!
I also raced a 1963 Vette to a 2 to 1 lane merge. I beat him by about 1 car, but I think he didn't know how to drive.
I find "muscle" cars good off the line, probably the gearing. I think most suck on the highway. Of course there are exceptions!
