It depends on whether you are talking straight line poerformance or all  
around comparison.  I had a 1965 Pontiac Bonneville convert with the 376 HP  421 
engine (tripower, cam, etc) and, frankly, that car could stand up to most of  
the letter cars from a variety of points of view.  Of course, it came later  
than most, so engineering, especially in handling, had improved but for all  
around go power and driveability, it was one heck of an automobile.  The  one 
unique feature of the car was that it had a 3 speed manual transmission on  the 
column (3 on the tree) and a 3.08 rear, which allowed one to pull over 70  mph 
in first, and close to 110 in second (while those guys in the 4 speed sticks  
were waiting for your shift).
