    Did you know that AMC produced the fastest factory drag car?

    It was the 1969 AMX Hurst Super Stock (390). It only weighed 3,050 lbs., had 340 hp./417 lb/ft with 12.3:1 compression, 650 cfm dual Holleys, 4.44 rear and ran the 1/4 mile in 11.08 sec. @127.11 mph!

    Only 52 were made for the public at a price of $5,994.

    After doing some further research, you MOPAR guys will be happy to learn that the 1968 Dart (LO23) was 10.33 seconds and the Barracuda (BO29) fastest time was 10.22 seconds.
