How about the fact that one was a new engine with new technology, the other was a 50-year-old relic with economy-car roots, and was only 62% the size of the other?
The '66 Valiant of Ryan's weighs 2,800; 65% of the 4,300-pound Hellcat... heavier per cube...
Is that not impressive, in view of the fact that is goes both quicker and faster?
Just askin'...
