article from 2017... How Bad Did Mopar’s 340 beat Ford & Chevy?

Speaking of GTOs, I had a buddy with a 66 Royal Bobcat clone, 421 tri power 4 speed. I raced him a few times with my 70 Dart 360/727 and beat him every time. His biggest problem was lack of traction, that car made plenty of power, but all he did was smoke the tires. I would leave abouts 100 to 125 feet of rubber, but he would have 300 feet of rubber and smoke billowing off the tires. He would usually be beside me, his front bumper at my door, man he was pissed!
