Personally, I do see the relevance with the comparison. 60's muscle cars were made to do one thing, go fast in a straight line. Our cars are infinitely more agile, comfortable, and reliable than any muscle car. The Phantom ESC enables us to be quicker than a stock one from their respective era for $2k. Yay us!

If modern cars are a better measurement then, how about more modern "direct" competitors? I included everything I could find a 1/4 mi time on from one website: http://www.zeroto60times.com/browse-by-make/

I think by the time the end of the list is reached, it's safe to say, a Phantom ESC'd 86 matches up nicely to its' competitors at the dragstrip even though the car was never designed with that in mind.

@Steveo585 's BRZ Phantom ESC 13.8 @ 101
@shif7i7down 's FRS Phantom ESC 14.01 @ 104

Guessing that the above's 0-60 times will be in the low 5's to 5 flat. I've boldfaced every car that is matched or bested.
