Apart from the possibly less handling, which at least partially comes from the shorter A-arms on older cars vs new ones, if you ask me, many vintage cars don't come with a really strong slipper clutch, if there is anything like it installed anyway. But indeed handling is also part of the setup, a well setup vintage can still handle better than a less optimal setup modern car. Maybe the older cars are less forgiving when it comes to shock setup, due to the lower leverage of the shorter A-arms. Also probably matters if you stay 2.0 inch with the wheels, or 2.2 inch, which roll over bumps just that bit more easily.
My advice, based upon what I've seen others running in their vintage cars, would be to stay above 10T (actually a 10T motor would be a little less powerful than a 10.5T, as a 10T is a 380 size motor in 540 size can) and maybe also lower the punch setting on the ESC, so the motor starts a little softer than it is capable off.
