It simply isn't realistic to try to compare cars of 3 decades or more apart. The GTHO III has been the benchmark and probably always will be - a great testimony to it that this many years later people are still using it as such. But most 6cyl or 8 cyl performance cars today, even a 4cyl turbo tin can, would probably hose a HO (but not by much  ) |
The chase is worth about 7 seconds i believe, but what are the improvements around the rest of the track worth? especially across the top?
Even without allowing for improvements that still puts the Phase 3 ahead of the XR6T and on 1972 rubber!!
I agree though, it probably isnt fair to compare...!
