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

I had 69 Dart GTS back in high school, 340 column shifted 727 with white bucket seats, red with white painted top. I kick myself for selling it. It was mainly stock with ld 340 intake and headers 323 sure grip. I use to take it to miami hollwood speedway and run 14.0 at 98 mph so not a rocket ship but sweet ride. High school buddies all had bb ss chevys that would run 12.0 at the strip. There was a kid from miami bch. that would come around with a stout 340 demon and street race them on us 1 and spank them good and really piss them off every week. Lmao every time that they kept throwing parts at the chevy bb and the 340 would spank them again, good times. I wish I could find my dart but don't have vin or even any pics I sold it to a old guy who lived in surfside fl. back in 73. I have had a few B bodys over the years but always come back to A bodys.
