I don't have the original story in front of me, but I'm guessing both cars had stock gears, which would mean the Buick had 3.64s (doubt it had 3.42s) and the GTX had 3.54s or 4.10s.

Yea, not really. The Buick owner raced, the GTX owner never had. The Buick had some mods, the GTX was stock with slicks. It was not scientific. Just started with someone spouting off about how great HEMIS were and could not be beat. Someone took up the offer to race any time anywhere. The Buick owner still has his car, the GTX owner sold his years ago.

This is not true, and if you read the story I posted, you'll see.

That Hemi with 2x4s needs to be set up right. It's amazing how much power they lose without being set up for the race. The Buick was clearly race ready.

Case in point, look how long it took the S/S and A/FX guys to get the Hemi's running quicker than their Stage III motors in 64.

Oughta read all about it over on moparts. Lotta people over there sure got their nickers in a twist about that article..... nearly thirty years after the fact.

Sold my last Mopar years ago, but I see the Mopar &quot;victim&quot; mentality is alive and well...

They are letting 30 year-old lies cloud their judgment, if not their biases.

Wouldn’t you really rather have a Buick?
