I'm just gonna take a wild guess what you're referring to - if wrong, please specify: Do you mean that the 60s-80s muscle / pony car chassis don't have as much aero as the next best modern equivalent racecar (V8SC I imagine)? If that's what you meant, I think that is more or less self-evident from the old bodyworks and tha technical leaps and bounds done in the meantime. Personally, I see any racing series with comparatively little reliance on aerodynamic grip as a welcome change of pace (literally).
