Another factor is the "seat of the pants" horsepower rating. Those old cars back in the 60's-70's just felt faster... you put 300hp on bias ply tires, drum brakes, crappy shocks, and then, just for fun, toss 2 inches of slop into the steering - and it all equals a hair raising, better hang on tight, ride of your life.

Sure, they'd white smoke the tires... a lawn mower could white smoke bias ply tires..
