That's a good point. Did you know that in the late 60s you could order a Corvette not just without a/c, but also without a heater? With the exception of cars like the Z06, Viper, Ford GT, car companies today don't really make "out the box race cars" like they did back then (particularly low budget ones). And even those three cars have a lot of the creature comforts you'd expect in a modern car. A new stock Camaro is going to be faster than a classic stock Camaro no matter what. And you have to remember you're talking net vs. gross hp as well.
