The Honda either beat them or tied, I think. Either way, it was a weird thing to see a modern family sedan keeping up with something that was a world-class performance machine thirty years ago.

There are 1962 Studebakers running at the Pure Stock drags in Stanton, MI, that match the speed and beat the ET in the quarter mile. Yes, those engines also also lil' bitty 289s.
