Out of the box:
The AAR and T/A were the best
Next would be an A body with factory front/rear sway bars
Then 71 B body with factory front and rear sway bars.
Lessons learned from 20+ years at Watkins Glenn prove it does not matter what you brought it's how well it's set up. I ran a wicked AAR Cuda but with no welded in reinforcements etc, a well built, highly welded reinforced but HP limited 70 Charger R/T. An R body [79 4 dr] with "stuff" Cop torsion bars/ sway bars etc-that is one stiff 4 dr out of the box btw, way more rigid than a stock B or E body. Fun but not like something with performance seats and seat belts.
The charger out-handled the AAR but could not keep up with it [HP]
If hemi shaker wants some real world advice on what to do please PM me and we will discuss this outside of the thread....I might have a good recipe...
Today's car would be a duster demon with lots of welding, partial cage, reinforcements etc etc modern hemi and passon 5 speed with 4.10s.
