1969 Roadrunner.
This car was amazing. 440, 6 Pack. It's factory purpose was blowing people's doors off.
It would run the quarter in the high 12s with stock everything. Insane.
I want to hear some of your thoughts on this car, and how it would compare in different measured ways, to a 1969 Corvette L88.

I had an old Hot Rod mag and in it they tested a brand new 69 440 6-bbl Roadrunner, automatic with 4.10s.
Bone stock I think it ran 13.56.
I don't really dislike Mopars but don't like any of them from 60s as the body design and interiors are hideous. The designs from the early 70s are MUCH better. Wouldn't mind having a 70 Cuda, 71 Charger or 71 Roadrunner.

Durango did me right by revising his original post to include some C3 content.

I'm a MOPAR guy and a Vette guy, so I would call it close with the Vette winning.
