As for top speed it's meaningless, as some cars have limiters and some don't.

0-60 is meaningless as well, as some cars require 2 shifts before they hit 60 while another car might only need 1 shift. So it's not a fair comparison. The quarter mile is a much better statistic.

1970 challenger weighed in at about 3860 with the high specs being with the 426 HEMI @ 425 hp and 480 ft/lbs.
So yeah, that was lighter, but I bet the new one is still faster, and definatly handles better.
