A combo similar to this was tested in the Golden Commando's Goldfish. It ran a best of 12.89 @ 107. Even though the Dart GT and the Barracuda weigh about the same, the Barracuda has a 175 pound weight advantage over the rear wheels. Ted Spehar said the D/Dart engine/program would have been better in the Cuda. But they wanted/needed a Dodge race car.
