You can bet they'll be under factored. How would it look if a car of the 70's spanked a new tech car? Is that going to be good advertisement? How many cars will that sell?
Years ago, at Bristol, Ford had just came out with the 4 cyl. turbo Mustang. Some Ford engineers had one at the track. Skip Hacker had a 1953 Olds 303 motor with a 4 speed automatic which ran W/SA (IHRA). It was a sled. Well, it had rained. After a long delay of drying the track, someone came up with the idea to run this new tech car against Skip's car heads up. Skip must have beat that car by 8 car lengths.
I didn't see the engineers the rest of the weekend.
