I didn't mean that the cars of the fifties were slow for their time. I meant that when you compare them to a musclecar the acceleration is not exactly stellar. Look at the really fast cars of the 30's and 40's and compare them to the 50's. Yes, they could go fast but it took them a while to get there. Compared to a mid to late 60's musclecar none of these cars were quick. My truck is Quick and fast for a 4400lb truck, but it will get eaten alive by about 95% of what could be called musclecars.
