Okay, one more thing. Most road tests of the 67 383 Barracuda have it running 15.2 to 15.4 in the quarter mile. Hi-Performance Cars magazine got theirs into the high 14's. Super Stock and Drag Illustrated (April 1967) got the bright idea to shift the automatic trans manually and got theirs down to 14.53, which was only two tenths slower than a 67 Coronet R/T they had tested three months earlier.

R/T's five best runs:

14.35 @99.00
14.37 @100.11
14.46 @99.88
14.49 @100.11
14.52 @99.88

First run for the 383 Barracuda, left in drive: 15.37 @92.59

Shifting the torqueflite manually:

14.91
14.80
14.79
14.68
14.56
14.53

Trap speed was 97.

The R/T ran best in Drive. The 383 Barracuda ran much better shifting manually.
