This is a very cool race! Sure the 300 is heavy but with a little engine work, tranny shift kit, and maybe lower rearend gears that car will move pretty darn good.
I know because I too have one and did some work to it and it goes!
small block cuda vs. big block 300 and the Cuda should have won? WHAT?
Children, the 300 had a soft suspension = weight transfer = traction out of the hole! plus you have instant big block torque.
Come on! Get a grip, that cuda at best had a 340, and they were screamers, but they had to scream to make power. A 300 was the CTS-V of the era, meaning your average everyday Mustang 351, Camaro 327, or Cuda 340 was not going to win a stoplight to stoplight race with your avg. 300! Lesson learned?
That 300 came with a 440 or 383h/p . both big blocks. There is no replacment for displacement...

you dont know that.....the 300 could have better tires. the driver could have a better reaction time.

Clearly Mopar can make even a 2 ton behemoth move like nobody's business, but I think the 'Cuda was not giving all.
