1968 '340' Barracuda vs 1968 '383' Road Runner
Rico,
Eddie is sending me the photos, which I'll post.
Here is what he said performance wise, with the cars completely stock.
The 68 '383' Road Runner, 4-Speed with 3.23 Sure-Grip ran a bunch of
14.90's @ 94 MPH and 'never' got into the 14.80's after about a 'Dozen' runs.
The 68 'Barracuda 340 'Formula S' {Notchback}, Automatic with 3.23 Sure-Grip
ran 14.75's @ 94 MPH.
When they raced them 'head-to-head' down the Bronx River Parkway, the Barracuda
was about 'one car length' ahead of the Road Runner at the end of the run, every time.
The Barracuda would leap off the starting line quicker, and pull to about a 2 1/2-Car
Length lead just past an '1/8 of Mile', then the 383 Road Runner would start to come
on at the end, but would always come up short about a 'Car Length'.
