It really looks more extreme in photos. Just as the cars are a lot smaller, in person. Most of these photos look to be shot from a few inches off the ground.
The 427 cars are a little more "refined", sure. However, it's the little raw, Grunty 289 cars the zipped through the corners & ate up those Ferraris, so that you could have your mantle piece. Respect due... ;-).
