I had a good buddy in High School 1979/80 had a 340/4SPD Dart, With the right Gears, Sticky Tires & Headers on the Street was Tough to beat from Red light to Red light... Hurt alot of Big Block Guys feelings. In Fact the other 2 Cars that gave him a Good Run were a 65 L79 4 spd Chevelle & a 70 LT1 Z28 automatic w/a Vega Torq converter ,4.56's
