First clue is they are making it relative to 1/4 mile times. That's not a major factor for defining a good sports car from the 70's. A true Sports Car back then and still today is one designed for cornering and road handling and historically a car that the driver can drive at speed using high RPM's through the gears over a long distance course. Realatively speaking the other most common Sports Cars from the 60's & '70's one could aford to buy were MG's, Triumphs, Datson Roadsters & Z, Alpha's, BMW's, Etc. Doubt that any of these had stagering 1/4 mile times or were Mid Engine cars. Also, a good 1/4 mile time back then would be 15 seconds for factory stock Muscle cars?
