    According to the comments, that one isn't supercharged.

    There are some pretty funny comments if you read down a little farther.  Some say that stock 440-6 quarter mile times are in the mid to low 14's.  Others state mid to low 12's.  That's a pretty big performance difference.

    If I remember correctly (and it was a LONG time ago) the R1 designation was for a supercharged 240 HP Dart Daytona.

    Come on! My dead stock (except for headers) 72 Duster with 3:55's and a 4 speed would turn 14.2's all day long. I've GOT to believe a 440-6 would have eaten me for lunch. I noted that although the sound track is kaakaa, the 440 doesn't seem to winding up too much and the shift points seem low. I drive past the last Studie factory at work regularly. Fast cars for their day.

    Well, the Stude is lighter, has a better power to weight ratio, and the 440-6 sounded like it was an auto....Hmmm, this is the typical way Ford caused such a sensation with the 5.0 liter Mustangs. I mean C'mon, this is how the little 340 even got on the same page as the mighty Hemi and 440 6Packs of the day..."Holy sh*t, I juts beat a massively overweight Mopar with the almighty BB 440-6!! Can you believe it???"....Why, yes, yes I can....Let's see, a 440 rebuilt with sh*tty pistons, owner that doesn't know what Compression height even is, a 440 6pack making 375-390 HP and a car that weighs over 4000 Lbs....

    VS.......


    A 2800 LB car with a straight gear, 240 HP, possibly supercharged, and a driver that clearly knows how to drive....Hmmmm, no brainer.

    The lark only runs in the low 9's 1/8 mile.  79 mph  about average.  The 6pk car is not an A12 car,  and the car has driver / tune up issues

    Trust me Studes are fast I had a 64 R2 SUPER CHARGED 289 Daytona.  It would eat my 340 Demon any time.  But dam there just not as cool as my 70 RT/SE.
