The 340 is the biggest POS V8 Chrysler ever made.

Theres fast cars of all brands !
One manufacturer is no better then another !
To say a 340 is a pos is a joke !
To compare an lt1 or 396 is a joke !
Apples to oranges !!!
A propperly set up chassis in a light a body 340 will run !!
Is it the fastest no !
Is it fast and respectable yes !
All muscle cars are cool !!
Some are faster then others !
All are fun !

Why is comparing a 340 to the LT-1 a joke? The 340 was the most powerful Chrysler small block. The LT-1 was one of the most powerful small blocks. I could have said let's line up a 340 Duster with a 375 HP fuel injected Vette, but I didn't. IMO, a 340 car better be careful with a 350/350 in a properly tuned Camaro. That's the point of drag racing. You never know who will win.
