Once you start modifying the cars, it's possible to make the A or E body hook very well. But comparing both as produced, or modified to the SAME level (engine, trans, suspension, etc.) the A-body has the advantage.

I've had both as my first street and then race car was a Challenger.



I would agree with the exception of Stock Eliminator(NHRA) and the F.A.S.T. racing..Nothing like a A or AA Stock 70/71 Hemi/6pk Challenger or Cuda going heads up against a brand X's best bigblock for class or eliminations..all legal A bodies can only wish they were fast enough to participate. I've owned multiple A bodies and really enjoyed them,but in these classes E's and older B's are king. Stock Eliminator and F.A.S.T. are the greatest car shows on wheels IMO!

Just ask the guys who used to have to go up against Fred Henson's former record holding Hemi Challenger.
