Fun show to watch. I always enjoy it when they showcase a good old '60s car vs the new stuff. Keeps the legend alive in the eyes of the young kids.

I feel the test was basically worthless, though. Should have used the same driver in both cars, and the rock hard tires on the 427 doomed it in all three tests. Put the same sticky tires and the same aggressive driver in both cars, and it would have been much closer. I assume the 428 was old and tired. They didn't even open the hood for a look-see.
