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. Doug

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.

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?
