The A body charger turns 40

At the height of the muscle car era, Ford Aussie's best offering did a 1/4 mile in 14.4. The E49 charger (with 86 less cubes, and two less cylinders) did the same. With much less weight up front, the chargers were a sharper handling car. In Australia, the tracks were a bit longer. (In particular Bathurst) So the ford had slightly longer legs at the top end which gave them the win. But here in NZ, the fords got owned.
I actually sold some parts to Stan Dorsey from that vid. He's got the mopar disease pretty bad. But then again who doesn't? :grin:
