This is one of the best and most evenly matched races I've seen in a long time. I a pretty sure that the Chevy is geared a little too low and if it had a little higher gear ratio it would have done even better. I think 4.10 gears would be better for the Impala. The opar is probably as well geared as could be expected. Good stuff!

A few times they had, thereby adding yet another expense to my hobby of burning up tires.

He asked me what I was running and when I told him he said it would be a good match for his Mustang, according to the test he's read in Motor Trend and Car and Driver. He said he would like to line up later on if I was ok with it. Sure I said. About an hour a later I was in line and they were running bikes so I walked over to him and asked him if he wanted to line up. He said no, he wasn't ready. Later on I was sitting in the stands and watched him run. He ran a 14.0. I don't know if he just couldn't drive or his car wasn't as fast as the tests showed but either way I could tell he was disappointed.

Having been around then, and owning 2 396 chevelles, a 375 hp and a 360 hp I want to agree with you. Back then low 14's pure stock was fast. However a rebuilt engine with matched valve springs, the .030 - .060 overbore, Jetting a carb with DYNO and O2 sensors instead of popping plugs and checking for shades of gray, and finally eliminating point bounce with electronic ignition makes these engines different. Add modern lubricants to the engine and drive train and I can see a .7 - 1.0 ET gain and 6-8 mph easily. Of course I doubt if these tracks ask an owner to pull a plug so they can CC check engines.

Hard to beat a good automatic transmission. I also learned from hotrodder/youtuber "Uncle Tony's Garage" that all the Mopar muscle cars had a traction advantage because Chrysler engineers placed the rear axle FORWARD of the center point of the leaf springs. They discovered it really aids in traction off the line. All the other American auto makers placed their axles at the center of the leaf springs, resulting in traction issues. And the rules don't allow them to use aftermarket traction aids. This is why you often see the Mopars get the jump at the tree. ( with everything else considered equal such as reaction times)

Being an old fart, I owned a new 67 Impala SS. It had the 365 HP version 396 and 4 speed. I know what a 4 speed vs an automatic transmission of that time is all about. A four speed with otherwise equal cars would blow the doors off of an automatic. The difference here is the curb weight and the fewer Chevy horses. The 427 in this Impala was the weakest 427 Chevrolet produced. It also has rear end gearing that kills top end speed. Both are great classic muscle cars, but I would try to relive my youth in the Chevy. Beside that, a four speed is just a whole lot cooler than a three speed automatic.

I really thought the HEMI would have been much quicker than the BB Impala. Surprise, surprise! Impala held it's own! I had a '69 Caprice with the 350 300 HP. It was pretty quick for a big boat.

That's because it's the base 427, not the solid lifter cammed 425 hp 427. But - notice that he's running a tall air filter, leaving a gap all the way around between the base and the lid, so it's not breathing only through that single snorkel.

The air cleaner, having that trumpet style snout with the small round opening, is the wrong one for a 67 Impala with 427. It should be a shorter and fatter snout with a wide oval opening.

I thought the impala with the 4 speed would have an edge even with less HP, it almost took the 1st run ! my 1st car was the family 67 fastback impala , only a 283 small block , but i rejected it for a 70 mach 1 mustang 351 Cleveland v8 4 speed ! I really loved the family car , later i sold the totally uncomfortable mustang ! , it was fast but i wanted now a 67 fastback impala , all i found were rust buckets , but i ended up getting a 69 charger 383 ! it reminded me of the impala somewhat ! I'm shocked a fully loaded bb ss impala weighs 4100 lbs ! i thought it would be less , sounds like the weight of a 70 chevel bb car ? The 71 and up chargers were the cheap chargers, a 66-70 chargers went for around 1000-1500, in the 80's the 71 and up could be had for 300-500 used. This one is super rare and with the hemi ! anyone wouldn't mind having it over a 440 70 charger RT !, the last 2 chargers i owned were 70 RT's , both at the same time ! nowadays owning a muscle car in NYC is cruse only expesive storage , grandpa rides ! Your lucky if you got a garage and a yard to park one .

Had that hemi in a Road Runner with the Hurst factory four speed. I didn't race but had a lot of fun at traffic lights. Later I had an Impala convertible with a 327. That car was a lot of fun too and great for cruising the beach at Daytona and New Smyrna.

I'm a Chrysler person also even though I don't drive one but the Chevy's beautiful and you can't beat it Impala for road ride those things just simply float going down the road but if you want to win by Mopar.

Super Bees and Chargers from the original muscle car era were true straight line cars. The advantage the Impala had was the manual.
