But for now; until we can race the old and the new side by side, we can compare specs. I think the most relevant specs to compare would be weight and power. Along with something a little more subjective like, what the car does at the limits.
I’m really interested in how these cars perform on the track; because if I get one, I want it to be a total track car.
Here’s something of interest: a Porsche 917/10 lapped the Nordschleife in 7:31:40 in 1973
While a new Z06 did a 7:42.9
But the tracks have changed over the years and the Z06 had a 2km shorter distance on the modern track…
I think back in 1973, Nurburgring had a full fledged jump… |
Not only have the tracks changed but the Tires, brakes and shocks are exponentially better than they were back in the day..
Not sure you would ever get a valid comparison unless you were to get an original and a replica side by side on the same rubber and same brake compounds as well as shocks..
