The next time some vintage cars are at a sprint show, put them side by side. Today's cars have dozens of adjustments to tune the car to the driver. The old-timers simply wrestled the car they had. Maybe 90-10 is a little exaggerated, but it's a huge difference. There was a reason most of the good drivers were built like Foyt, with huge upper bodies; that's what it took to control those cars.
