'Match Race 1969' 440 'Cuda vs 440 'Six-Barrel' Road Runner
Mr. Vitamin,
That first 'performance test' with the 'Display Car', had a 4-Speed with a 3.55 Sure-Grip
8 3/4" Rear-End, and 10" Drum Brakes.
The 'proto-type' Super Bee was actually about 100 lbs. {lighter} than the 'true'
1969 Super Bee 440 Six-Pack'.
First test runs were in the 14.80's @ 99 MPH.
After tweaking.... 13.95's @ 104 MPH.
Later, the 'smartly added' 4.10 Dana-Rear for the 'true' Six-Barrel' and 'Six-Pack' cars
really let them wind up to proper RPM's.
