1966 Dodge D/Dart ~ 'Mystery, Myth and Misconception'

The '61 Corvette was down in the low 12's by '68. Not just weight and horse power, but look how clean it is underneath, and from the front. The '61 Corvette wheelbase was in between the the Dart and Valiant. We saw the A/FX cars and what they were trying to do with weight distribution, not just total weight, although acid dipping and aluminum front ends helped, along with lead weights ( with Chrysler factory part numbers) wrapped around the rear axle probably helped the big hemi's. Chrysler could have done some more with the D Dart, even to compete with the Mustang.
