Vs
69 ss nova 396/375hp 4 spd 4.10s [email protected]
nova wins by 1/2 second
dart sucked the paint off it out of the hole 2 plus cars still ahead 1 plus car for quite a distance lol
383 b-bodys that would be 8 cars out of the hole lol
Half a second AND 7 MPH. That’s HUGE.
The funny thing about all comparisons.
They are subjective.
My neighbor was a super stock racer.
He had a 69 1/2 6 pack 4 speed he raced .
Then a 70 hemi 4 speed cuda.
Later he changed the cuda to look like a 74 because 360 motors were cheaper then hemis.
Whenever I want to hear racing stories I go visit and talk cars.
He was very close friends with Dave Wren.

The 440-6 390 hp. The 375 hp Novar were no slouches, light and good power.
The 375hp 396 was no slouch in any model.
I know for a fact, it gave the 375 hp 440 a run for it's money.
Oops 440 4 bbl
My bad
