Who would win???
If she's done her homework with the Dart, she may put up a good fight... I've heard many stories of 340 Darts pulling 440 Cudas and 454 Chevelles back in the days. But, you know the chick, and you could figure out from listening to her if she knows what she's talking about, or if she's just had one too many highlights.
I'd venture to say that a Dart, stripped out, with a head/cam 340 with a single-plane intake, 650 4-bbl, LTs/2.5" duals, and a 727 TorqueFlite feeding 3.55s or 3.73s would be a more than a handful for most street F-bodies. That being said, I'll take my "slow", 25 mpg F-body over her Mopar anyday.
Now, if she was packing a big-block, that'd be a different story.

I agree, run her, if she doesnt hook, she could have all the hp in the world and do nothing more than impress you wiht a big cloud. (PS. I agree that the S2000 is not indicative of normal "rice" "honda" performance.)

I agree w/the hot chick/nice car thing. Except one time when I was cruising in my LT1 and a 2000(?) Aniversary LS1 WS6 with the blue tint rims and a scary *** exhaust pulled up to me at about 65 and this chic looked over
It was depressing. Now that I have my 5.0, i think I could have been MUCH MORE potent from a roll, but that thing sounded tricked out...

Say 80-90mph start, it sounds extreme. But remember those old timers usually had 4 speed manuals and 3 speed autos. If it's geared for the 1/4 mile then it'll top out at anywhere from 110-125mph.

one thing i havent scene anyone ask, is this chick hot or not?
my girl, featured in my avatar has a '02 SS(all stock), she has guys trying to race her daily on the highway and she will run it up to 130mps, but when we are in the vette, we dont get challenged. when she is out running errands in the vette on the weekends, challenges always seems to come up. she has more kill stories than i do.
i had a 2002 S2000 with a vortech supercharger on it 7PSI put out 297 whp, i was the 4th S2000 owner in texas to have one on the car, so it was rare, when i went to the strip i had you LS1 guys constantly challenging me, why cause i was running 12.8-12.9's on road race tires, stiff side walls... i guess i was a challenge for about 8 LS1's down at ennis that night, fun runs. Official SCCA weigh in of the car was 2715lbs with a 1/4 tank of gas.
a S2000 in race trim can be stripped down to 2200 lbs, a built motor and the right turbo set up 400 hp on low boost is easy to do. my dyno attached. the dip is actually resonance from the air intake, something that the car did on a regular basis. on motor it dyno'd 200whp out of the box from the factory.

Correction... unless she's like an A-cup and you've got huge hands, she'll be a handful.
I had 1 of those things. All you need to do is listen to it Idle. Maybe talk to her wile it's running. If it doesn't lope like a big cam and has normal tires on it. Bet the house. You will kill it real bad bad bad. If she is good looking now is your chance to get a free dinner.
Well I have some info to drop on this race, if she wont run the car in front of you, but will let you see the motor thats just as good, cuz if it has a 6-pack, and ceramic coated headers that look really old, you might wanna watch out, my Dad had a Dodge Demon, it had a super engine from the factory. Back in the old days, Mopar would build 12, 11, and 10 second cars for their customers from the factory, my Dads had a 6-pack, ceramic coated headers, a cam and head work, the beast would lift the tires off the ground at a 15mph rolling start, he would eat up Super B's all day long, GT-350s were a child's toy compared to this thing.
I have to go with another guy here, what does she look like? IS she hot, ugly, fugly,MFUGLY or what?!!! If your not attched or married, race her for a date,dinner movie **** like that....Take full advantage of this....but most of all.....JUST HAVE SOME FUN!!!!
