Here is another epic race from the 25th Annual Pure Stock Drags event at the Mid-Michigan Motorplex. This time we have a 1969 Ford Mustang Coupe fitted with the mighty 428 Cobra Jet V8 engine paired with C6 Automatic transmission lining up against a 1969 Chevy Chevelle SS powered by the potent 396 L78 engine linked to Muncie 4-speed.

While the Chevy has more horsepower the Mustang weighs 500lbs less, so it is a very interesting 1/4 mile race. Check out the RoadTestTV video to see the Ford 428 Cobra Jet Vs Chevy 396 L78 drag race, and share your thoughts in the comments.
