The deal with European cars of the era is all about the weight. A Mustang or Camaro will have about 7-800 lbs on an Alfa, Fiat or MG. Even with the stonkin' heavy C series engine (weighs almost as much as a BBC), my MGC comes in 400 lb lighter than a six cylinder Mustang of the same era. The MKII Ford Capri in my avatar was still only 2500 lb w/ huge bumpers. was 550 lbs lighter than a 70 six cylinder second gen Camaro, and almost 900 lbs less than a 76 Camaro.
