So just how good was the A-Body back in its day?

There was a 68 Barracuda in my home town that was one of the fastest cars around back in the day. It was a 383 4 speed car and it was wicked. Mind you it was not quite stock! That car surprised a lot of guys that thought they had a quick car. That was also back in the dark age before nitrous, turbos or blowers were popular.
