Yeah you're right but the wheelies and the gorgeous looking car, stick in the noggin when you're young and impressionable.
Then again, if you had a 12 sec street car then you were king of the hill.

Back then a 12 sec street cars, would be on par with a 10 sec street cars these days

12 sec street cars were deemed extremely fast back then
Skip forward to now a 12 sec car is considered not much & to be thought of in the same category you would need to run a 10 or less
