You're absolutely right.
I went to the Dream Car Garage website and it said the following:


The Muscle Car Shootout is a one hour special that will put factory stock versions of these legendary cars through a series of tests designed to reveal their strengths and weaknesses.

The stars of the special are line up of the muscle car eras heavy hitters:



1969 AMX 390 GO PACKAGE

1970 BUICK GS 455 STAGE 1

1970 HEMI CHALLENGER

1970 CHEVELLE SS 454 LS6

1969 MUSTANG BOSS 429

1969 HURST OLDSMOBILE

1969 PONTIAC GTO JUDGE



The shootout will involve five individual tests. Braking and handling will be just as important as straight line acceleration. The test parameters are as follows:



0-60 mph acceleration

Standing ¼ mile

60-0 mph braking test

Slalom handling test

Burn out contest



Points will be given for each test, seven points for the fastest time down to one for the slowest. All tests are weighted equally; the winner is the car with the most points. The burn out contest will be the wild card, creating a never before seen test.
The shootout will attempt to equalize the variables as much as possible. All cars ran on the same tires, using the same fuel and the same brake materials, so that performance is judged strictly on manufacturer’s differences.

The test segments will be interspersed with interviews with owners and industry experts and some cool vintage footage. Peter will be doing the driving and Tom will narrate the special.
