Take the Chase out of Bathurst and those times would change a bit eh ... Moff didn't have to brake, turn through the Chase, and then accellerate again, like cars have to do today (and at the fastest part of the circuit).
It simply isn't realistic to try to compare cars of 3 decades or more apart. The GTHO III has been the benchmark and probably always will be - a great testimony to it that this many years later people are still using it as such. But most 6cyl or 8 cyl performance cars today, even a 4cyl turbo tin can, would probably hose a HO (but not by much
)
PS. Oh, and the 1972 cars didn't have to comply with the same restrictions that the 12hr cars had to - and how many drivers of the calibre of Moff were at the 12 hr???
