It sure is an apple to oranges comparison - the late 60's Trans AM race
carts were no where near as streetable as the new Boss. It would be very
interesting to see a comparison of a 69 Factory Boss race car vs the 20011
Boss street car.

A great compliment coming from a 'Chrysler' Guy.
That 444 hp is around what the output was from the '69' Trans Am
race car I crewed on in the late 60's and early 70's.
Are you sure you're not comparing apples to oranges?
The 60s/70s cars usually quoted horsepower measured at the
crankshaft; modern figures are measured as delivered to the
wheels. So 444hp today is significantly more than 444hp
from the 70s.
