Now lets try again on a stock model T with 20-40HP, and no mods.I mean, if your pushing 3-4x more power then stock, might as well mod up the other cars as well to make it fair

You're right. It was 1930's technology competing against 2007 technology. The 1930's technology won.

I remember my father (who would be 105 now) telling stories about the Model T's going everywhere... And soaking the wood wheels to keep the spokes in them, and other various things.
