Okay, so we'll disagree on the literal definition of a slang term.
A movie chase sequence is no way to quantify an assertion that one car is in any respect superior to another. The perceived ruggedness of the Chrysler platform you cited versus the '60-era Falcon/Mustang chassis is irrelevant in light of the numbers of Fords sold and still rolling. Obviously, they were rugged enough.
That said, I sure wouldn't mind having one of those old Dodge Chargers.
