My dart vs 1969 Chevelle "396" predictions

Hate to say it ---- IMO you'll lose this one. You may be 3-500lbs lighter, & your motor rev quicker, but assuming he REALLY is running 396 cubes, torque is what you need & the 396 has it. Races are won in the first 60-80 feet & it's not hard to get a Chevelle to hook. MY BET is he's running a 540 (common among BBC fans), telling you it's a 396 and has or is doing some hidden suspension work in the next 2 weeks to insure it'll hook. I was in your corner on the last race, but this one ????????. I think you've bit off more than you can chew.......
