  My money would be on the Mini Cooper, maybe even a stock Woolsley Hornet, 
go figure what with the power-to-weight ratio between the Minis and old US 
iron, especially that weak, lumbering 70's stuff. However,  say a Buick 
GS/Skylark/California, Camero/Firebird type isn't in the "touring" class, and 
are designed to go forward real fast. Touring cars are mean't to use the 
power to move the whole family and luggage out to the beach house 
comfortably, eventually getting up to speed. 
  Rather like comparing an XK8 to Land Rover Discovery.
But then, Mini's are a pain to pull out of a Buick grill! ;)
