Back in 1970 I worked w/ a bunch of Chevy nuts who were pretty big into street racing. I had a new '70 Cuda 383 hp w/ 3.23 & man 3 spd. That included Corvettes, Z28s, SS Impalas, SS Chevelles, 454 ElCaminos, Chevy 2s w/ up to 454s., & a 69 GTO Judge. The ones I raced I beat pretty handily, both on drag & top end. The rest didnt want any part of my car. That also includes a '66 SS Chevelle w/ a built 454 ( by a shop in Roanoke built to 474 ci, it idled about 1100 rpm.) Dont even talk about FOMOCOs. My car was 100% totally stock just like it came from the factory, & most all of these guys couldnt say that. It didnt help them anyway. I believe many of these mag tests are rigged in favor of the GM cars anyway, but back in the "60s & '70s, the Mopars were still fastest most of the time in spite of that. When you start talking about all out building, all of them can be made to run, but on equal ground, they still have to look at Mopar tail lights. Ovmf
