The Car Show pits Ferrari 308 vs. Toyota Camry, DeLorean vs. Toyota Sienna

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/09/09/t...amry-delorean/

"Our favorite cars from when we were younger aren't always the exciting machines we expect them to be. Matt Farah and Dan Neil decided to explore this idea on a recent episode of The Car Show. Neil picked a Ferrari 308 GTS while Farah went with the gullwing-wearing DeLorean DMC-12. Both are sports cars from an older era, and serve as perfect examples of misplaced idolatry.

Each host provided a modern machine to use in a drag race against the older vehicles. Lining up at the strip in his 308, Neil faced down Farah who piloted a 2010 Toyota Camry SE. To combat Farah's DeLorean, Neil called a 2010 Toyota Sienna SE into action.

We won't spoil the results, but you can probably guess which vehicles wound up victorious. Still, it makes for an amusing video, which you can watch after the jump."

V6 270 horse 250 torque vs a V8 235 horse and 190 torque. Oh how technology takes its course. Brings me back to the days of driving my 92 TBird with a 3.8 V6 and 140 horses strong.

The V6 is larger displacement; HP/ displacement is slightly higher on the Ferrari V8.

I watched Top Gear ones they compared 1980 or so rally championship top car Ford Sierra Coswort and no modification Kia Rio...
Rio did lap 5 sec. quicker or so.

my uncle got 1976 MG MGB- really good spor cart of the 70s. even my wife's 2000 4 cyl camry can outrun it easily.
you remember F1 of the 70"s? 4 litres 400 HP motors!
soon enough F1 will have 1.6L turbo 900 HP engines with 12000RPM red line.
