Here are some numbers I happened to run across in this months MuscleCar Review:
Car & Driver; Jan. 1969 test: 1969 Dodge SuperBee - 383 4bbl: 14.04 @ 99.5
Motor Trend; Feb 1969 test: 1969 Plymouth RoadRunner - 383 4bbl: 14.35 @ 101.
Car & Driver; Feb 1970 test: 1970 Duster - 340 4-bbl: 14.39 @ 97
Guess you're not exactly "Eating" those cars, huh?
Put some sticky tires on it, see what you come up with and make sure to report back. My guess is the report will include broken parts. Oh, and by the way, it didn't take sticky tires, aftermarket transmissions, and axles to get the above cars to run these times.
Back in the day it was pretty well known that the magazine test cars were wringers. Warmed over.
I seen a many of 383 car back in the day that couldn't break into the 14's. That is just the way things were.
