1969 Chevy Camaro SS396 drag racing 1969 Dodge Super Bee A12 440 6 pack
First car is a 1969 1/2 Dodge Super Bee. The other a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport. The Dodge Super Bee has a 440 V8 with a six pack (three 2-bbl carburetors). The Camaro has a L78 396 V8. The Super Bee 440 6-pack was rated 390 horsepower while the Camaro was rated 375 horsepower. Both cars have automatic transmissions: The Super Bee has a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic and the Camaro a TH400 3-speed automatic. The Camaro Super Sport has 4.10 rear gears. The Dodge Super Bee also has 4.10 rear gears. The Super Bee is weighing-in at 3820 pounds including the driver. The Chevy Camaro SS comes-in at 3528 pounds. They made around 4889 L78 equipped Camaros in 1969, while there were only 1487 total A12 Dodge Super Bees produced (661 with the automatic transmission). Ronnie Sox tested an A12, and after removing the air cleaner it ran the 1/4 mile in 12.91 seconds @ 111 mph. Hot Rod tested the Super Bee A12 in August of 1969 and they got a 1/4 mile time of 13.56 seconds @ 105 mph. The A12 came with all sorts of extras: Edelbrock aluminum intake, HD radiator, police handling package (which included Hemi rated leaf springs), CR 10.5:1, 15x6 black steel wheels, G70-15 redline tires, and of course three Holley 2-barrel carbs rated in total 1350 CFM...but power disc brakes weren't available. The Camaro SS 396 with the L78 V8 featured 4 bolt mains, a forged steel crank, forged steel rods, forged aluminum pistons, an aluminum intake, Holley 4-barrel carb CR 11:1. Weight distribution was terrible for the Camaro big block with nearly 60% of the weight over the front wheels. There was no power steering or air conditioning available with the L78/L89 cars that year.
