I don't think anyone's ever done a back-to-back comparison between the two body styles. The only way to really be able to tell would be to either put the cars in a wind tunnel or to switch the running gear between the two cars and see if the performance stays the same. The patriarch of West Coast Hemis doesn't believe there's a difference between the two cars, although aesthetically speaking he prefers the 'Cuda. I've been told that CW believes there's two mph difference between the Cuda and the Dart. To answer your question, I guess it really just depends on who you ask. Henson's Dart has gone a .48 @ 153 and Bucky's 'Cuda has gone a .46 @ 156, but they were at different tracks in different air.
