My '73 Duster 340 weighs 3,500 pounds.

Have you ever seen these cars street race each other? If so who won. And why don't you get these 2 guys on the track and see who wins and answer the question once and for all. Personally, I think the GTX would take it.

My 1970 weighs in at 3052 when it was stock >CAT scales. I realize they are not all that light but my 1973 Sat weighed in at close to 4000 + there is a big difference in weights the best way is a cert scale. This thread is good I like to hear the difference's but the best part would be a actual race between the two cars just for the heck of it!

My 73 Challenger. 3545 w/o driver. 4 speed, 8 3/4, 360, aluminum intake, aluminum wheels, aluminum master cylinder, headers w/2 1/2"exhaust. It has 70 bumpers & grille. Also has power steering. I can't believe a stocker with iron intake, power brakes ,cast manifolds, steel wheels would be lighter. This car was wieghed at Norwalk raceway park on a electronic scale.

DVW sorry I was referring to my a body car . My brothers 73 Cuda 340 pushed close to 3650 with alum intake and headers

IMO the GTX will handle it easily. The 71 340's horsepower is something like 290hp while the 67 440 is 375hp that in itself will quickly overcome a few hundred pounds even with 3.23's....

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.

Daren, do yourselves and any others that may be watching you race a favor. Please race the cars, love to know which one will win, but do it at the drag strip where it's the safest for all involved.

I got $10 says the GTX wins...and I'll spot the small block a tenth.....

Waaaa back in 1976 my first car was a 68 rt charger, stock engine with headers , alu intake and holley dp with auto trans , 4.11 posi and a 10" tire , for 2 years I searched for any car to race , when I had the bucks for gas ,Most small blocks were 4 to 5 cars behind in high gear, mopar , chevy , ford ,I lost once to a guy 10 years older than me who had a hot big block chevy & he would only run from a 20 mph roll , I now race & favor small blocks , go figure?

I had a 67 440 GTX with headers and torker intake with a 750 Holley in the 70's. I figured it was the hottest car in town until I met a 69 340 4 speed Cuda with 3.91 gears one night. A 69 Cuda is quite a bit lighter than a 71 but I still maintain the 71 with a good driver will whoop that 67 GTX. I love 67 GTX's and don't like 71 Cuda's but I still give the edge to the Cuda.
