Well I find this discussion quite interesting cuz I BEEN THER, I DUN IT
It all started at one stop light and ended b4 th next, a half mile away. We agreed to start at a roll, 30 or 35 mph, Just right for my mostly stock 3:23 gear auto trans GTX I had headers and DP dist, short but wide tires We both hit th pedal at the same time, good even start. He was drivin A 70 sumthin 340 4 spd Cuda with lots of typical aftermarket stuff along with better gears, 3:91 or 4:10s. I remember that driver looking frantic in th other lane banging th gears while I calmly click my auto into another gear He was already in 4th before I ever got the 440 into high. Nothing light about my GTX, well it did hav drum brakes but th air conditioning made up for any weight savin I had
We were pretty much dead even untill I got hi gear, pulled him by about half a fender and we both lifted.
I dont kno who's cars above is faster, Lets see some video from them at th strip.
With that said I think I need a smoke and a beer.
