1968 '340' Barracuda vs 1968 '383' Road Runner
The 1968 Road Runner was a 'sharp looking car'.
But like 'Old Man Rick' can substantiate, a 4-Speed with 3.23 Gears and F70 x 14" Tires was
stuck between 14.75 and 14.90 - even with a good 'performance' tune-up.
Nobody was running 14.50's with a stock 383, 4-Speed and 3.23's from 1968 thru 1971.
I never saw it, and I saw my share of 383 Road Runners at New York National Speedway,
Dover Drag Strip, Maple Grove Raceway, Lebanon Valley Dragway and Connecticut Dragway.
As a matter of fact, most of the guys who brought their stock 383 Road Runners to the Drag Strip
back then never raced them, in fear of embarrassment.
