Yes and no,
let's compare a 1981 Pontiac Trans-Am with a modern car...
let's say my same 1998 Ford Taurus Station Wagon (the same one that is 
faster
than my DeLorean).
I can bet you that if you took that TA, a DeLorean and my Ford the TA would 
win.
Ok, let's compare a 196? whatever GTO, Camero, Firebird, whatever.....
Do you want to race any of those?
How about a 1981 Datsun Z car?
Want to put your title on the line with that one?
...I don't think so.

1981, 2004, whatever.... the DeLorean came in dead last on every test.
Research some of the old Road & Track articles and have a read.

I hate to be a downer here but it is the truth.
The reason those old muscle cars are revered is because they were bad ass,
our car was a joke of the car industry then as is today.
It is a novelty, like Urckle's 3 wheeled BMW.
It's a lot of fun to drive around but it is no muscle car, and that is why
has not been rebuilt.
I stll love the car for different reasons.

I'm done.
