Factory old iron just can't compete ... ??

Watched whistlindiesel run his 1400 hp '69 Charger down the interstate just cruisin, then in nonsense go down the 1/4 mile on the rev limiter the entire way and still run mid 9's at almost 150 mph as it snapped and popped on the rev limiter all... the way... down the track. LS turbo, I know.
The last 10 years have been the golden age of muscle.. the new motors are just amazing.. i love my older motors but i don't desire over 450-500 hp :)
