The goal was to go as fast as possible with nothing more than a very primitive engine of a fixed displacement. They are low-tech and old-fashioned, not modern in any way.
There is nothing primative or low tech about those engines. If they were their bhp wouldnt have changed in the last 50 years.. Something tells me your not going to win that arguement. That being said your displaying myth number 1.. Your new tech, is still based on something thats just as old a pushrods.

mass-produced tuner, not a private shop
You may want to check your statement at the door. Lightenfelter engineering and hennessey aren't just some shop. They are a mass produced tuner. He didn't even mention Callaway.

And GT-R wasn't yet tuned.
Hows that swamp land in Florida treating you?

True. So are all American Muscle Cars - all about power and torque And even Corvette heavily depends on its horsepower.
The 33xx lbs, independent suspension, carbon fiber body, alluminum and magnesium frame, a drag coeficient of .28 , 14+ inch ceramic brakes, and electro magnetic shocks have nothing at all to do with it.
