Mopar To Release Lost A-Body 1/4 Mile Test Results

P-F Flyer,
I'll try to make it easier to understand.
1967 Barracuda (Fastback) 273/235HP Commando (weight #2952 lbs.)
4-Speed results
w/3,23 gears; 16.30 @ 85 mph
w/3.55 gears; 16.08 @ 87 mph

Automatic A-904 results
w/3.23 gears; 16.66 @ 83 mph
w/3.55 gears; 16.37 @ 84 mph

The results are from Plymouths own testing, with a race-proven driver at
the wheel. Results were kept quiet from the insurance companies.
Nothing special done to the cars, other than adjusted tire pressure
and mild tuning and track adjustments.

On their own special testing, to see if they could get the 273/235HP Commando into the 14.90's (sub 15-second range). I'll post that after I dig it up.
