Top speed 290. > So you would need a quite serious road car to beat it. But not impossible. > A big performance factor are also the suspension, tires and brakes. 1950s tires were quite skinny and not really grippy compared to what you can find on a sport car today, so I would expect the performance gap to be more in favor of the modern car in the twisty bit and the braking. > But to summarize, you daily driver would still be smashed by a 1956 F1 car, except if you daily drive an Ariel Atom, a Porsche GT3 or something even more exotic.
