What's better a Hemi Daytona or a Superbird

[ACUDANUT]

We all know Daytona's are more rare.

[68X426]

Petty won with his Superbird. 

[odcics2]

Isaac, Baker, Allison, Glotzbach, White, Brickhouse, etc. won in Daytonas.   

[Aero426]

I guess it depends on which Superbird it is.

[68X426]

Isaac, Baker, Allison, Glotzbach, White, Brickhouse, etc. won in Daytonas.   

I'll take Richard's 18 wins and 27 top 5 finishes out of 40 races in '70 over the competition.

We might get a different poll result if this site was PlymouthRoadRunner.com instead of DodgeCharger.com.

Which is better?

   ...Yes.

Ahh, I can't decide either.. Ah heck, I'll just have one of each...

IMO

Daytona good
Better body shape, less production,

Daytona not so good
No 6pk, No pistol grip, easier to replicate, horrid bucket seats, some horrid colours

Superbird Good
6Pk, pistol grip, harder to replicate, great bucket seats, better detailed, decals, beep beep horn etc (like it or hate it), better rear wing, more recognised (Petty, Cars movie etc), great impact colours

Superbird not so good
Roadrunner has an older style, more produced.  

[Nacho-RT74]

some of the diff is because the production options added by the year ( colors, buckets, engine ), not really car's fault.

but... what about if the Daytona survived up to 70 ?

( now wondering why didn't )

who said it didn't  

[Nacho-RT74]

Yeah, well.. I can't see the correct flushed rear glass on any of them, so, question still is there, LOL

And the R/T door scoop looks nice on them LOL

[Homerr]

Which ever one has the manual transmission.

70 Daytona's don't have rear window plugs

I'm not as savvy on wing cars so forgive my ignorance, but what is that chrome thing on front of the green Daytona in the last pic. just a brush guard of sorts?

1970 cars (esp wingcars) saw a new Federal law requiring front bumpers as mandatory equipment, that's why all the 1970 Superbirds had to be completed/built before Jan 1 1970 to skirt the law


The Purple  70 Daytona had modified 63-7 Vette bumpers on it, J.Junerman removed them during it's restoration in the mid/late 70's

The B5 1970 Daytona sports a similar "bumper" also like the green F6/F5 70 Daytona

[Ghoste]

I've always much preferred the styling of the Daytona over the Superbird.  Which is kind of funny considering that the Plymouth was the one the stylists were allowed to muck up before production.

In 69, Nascar considered the nose of the Daytona to be the bumper, hence the 1" rubber piece, between it and the body.
In 70, Nascar considered the nose rub strip as a 'bumper' on the Birds.

FYI - those are my feet under the photo of the 70 "Daytona".  I consider that car the first clone!

It's what some used to refer to as a nerf bar.
