This might not be comparable. My dad & uncle ordered new barracudas in 69. My dad got his with a 340 4spd & my uncle with a 383 4spd. If i remember right both had 3:55 gears I remember my dad saying how he would beat my uncle in the 1/4 mile every time. Dont quote me on this but im thinking it did high 13s

a 100 lbs is a tenth in a 1/4 mile drag race and when its on the nose of a car, it creates traction issues. Where horse power shines is well past the 1/4 mile. And it don’t matter what brand that 100 lbs wears, Chevy, ford or mopar.
