Reliability is also much better today. More Fuel economy per horse power as well.

Better fuel economy...absolutely. Reliability I disagree though. Carbureted cars are hard to kill. They may require more frequent tuning to run at peak potential, but you could also drive one for hundreds of miles with half of the parts missing under the hood. Cars these days will shut down and cry if any one of the dozens of sensors goes bad.

I get around 26mpg on the highway with over 500 horsepower and a 100K mile warranty.
