I do agree with the idea that a lot of it is in the driver. Back in the ole days, I had a 1977 Impala with a 305. I used to blow away similar year 'vettes and Camaros all the time.
I would like to see the S600 go up against a Buick GS455 or GTO Judge.

Most of those muscle cars are "slow" compared to today's offerings. One of the fastest factory cars was the '7x Chevelle 454 LS6. I've seen time slips on factory-stock cars and they managed the 1/4 mile in mid-high 13's. A good driver could do 0-60 in 5.4 secs.
The latest Mercedes V12's and V8/12 AMG's can run all run 0-60 in under 5 secs and ~12 sec 1/4 miles.
