"Actual Match Race" 1969 440 'Cuda vs 1973 Firebird Formula 'SD-455'

Mr A-Body-Bomber

I have to agree.

My sisters 1973 'Formula SD-455' was not only an easy car to drive, it handled
great. The F60 x 15' Firestone Wide Ovals were actually a better 'street handling'
tire back then over the new Radial Tires.

Yes, Curb Weight was #3650+ lbs.

Back in 1975.....

As for 'Quarter-Mile' Performance, my 1969 'Cuda 440 ran 12.80's @ 112 MPH
with 9" M & H Racemaster Slicks, 3.91 Gears and a 'customized' Stock Exhaust System
{No Headers} plus a few other Engine tweaks.

My sister's Formula SD-455 with 3.90 Gears was damn near a '12.90' car.
