technically it all depends on the options, I was just offering some differences.

I actually think most GC's had dual exhaust anyway,because mine does,maybe just the 383 cars?I cant see a hood weighing 200 lbs more

It's all the decals and high impact paint, okay maybe it isn't.

Was the regular barracuda based on a slant 6 and a 3 speed manual tranny?  VS a big block with a 727 and lots of options?  Just guessing.  Were all those weights from the same source?  From one source to another my Challenger is any where from 3200lbs to 3500lbs or something like that.
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

383 with duals was not standard.

No 318 had duals.
Lo perf 383 would have been single exhaust.
