383/440 proclaimed horsepower ?

One of my best buds had a ‘68 Satellite and he couldn’t stay with my Bee. He was rated 330hp, mine 335. Different drivers(?)

Nope. See post 58 in the 383 vs 440 GTX thread. You were more than 5 hp up on him. Assuming both cars were in good tune.

Fratzog, well the ego says mine was “tuned”, his I don’t know! Always told the wife that I believed I was one of the best mechanics out there. You have to believe! Until proven wrong!

The Bee was a lotta car for the money. There was more than 5 hp on your side racing the Coronet. Which was a nice cruiser by its own right. Not too many of them left.
Just for fun, here is one of the "Match Race" threads. Enjoy.
