Take the weight of the B body combined with your RB (4000LBS) and compare it to the A body with a 6-pack (3150LBS) and you were...dusted.

well let's just say the car was FAR from stock, but the weight was real. 3300 pounds without me in it! 727 Auto, 4.10 gears, no air, no excess weight at all.

By the way, my 383 had around 450 HP and a torque curve as fat as Mamma Cass! We took money from an AAR Cuda and an occasional stocker 440. We ran 13.08 in street tires and 12.70's with small cheater slicks.

Those little dust turds were... Dusted!

Bummer. If you do a little search online you'd be dusted by a full second by a daily driver 340 6-pack. Not too highly modified either.

All that work for little return... BTW, I never said I owned a Duster or a Dart. Just pointed out the facts between A and B bodies. You never said you modified your ride so you were a bit misleading in you original post.

You one of those guys that stuff a sock in your pants too?

yep. recognize ignorance when seen. generally ignore it.

I'm sure you were one of those guys we beat. Bad losers are so common.

So are sore ones.
