That Cuda looks like a '74 Cuda and without knowing what is in it. I will give it the benefit of the doubt that it has the all conquering Magnum 360. Best E.T. for this model was in the high 14's on a good day with some tuning. Out the box it was a 15 to 16 E.T. at best.

 

A Pontiac Trans Am with a SD 455 ran in the mid 13's

 

Time to read those things called magazines and books again!

I was just joking around, yeah, some of them moved good, you had quite a number of engines to choose from.

 

One thing in my own little circles of friends that is funny. One of them bought a 63 1/2 Galaxy, R code car (427 car). He drove it that way for a while and it was "fun" but then he decided to challenge another guy in our group to a drag race. Now...this guy he challenged has the most generic, 1970 Nova with a small block that you can ever imagine. Like NO personal touches at all really. It's just fuckin store bought, even a crate engine in it. Well, the nova beat him. Sooooo, he finds a 427 SOHC engine in south FL. Buys it, ships it up here, has different cams grand for it, a stroker crank, really made it nasty. He of course beat the nova. So...Nova guy goes on craigslist one day, finds himself another crate engine, a used 502 horse, 502 and got it for peanuts. He fit that in, messed with the rear a little and just tore a hung chunk out of that galaxy. He's now in this nova for around 5 grand.

 

It's just funny how nasty some stuff was considered to be as apposed to how fast it actually was in real life. These days, a mini cooper will crack out a 13 second pass.
