1. Does 74 out perform 75? (score: 1)

I'm sure that this must be debated all the time, but since the published horsepower figures are wide apart, is the actual performance the same? Is a 74 4 speed a more desirable model than a 75 auto?

I've never seen a side by side comparison, just a Road & Track test on the '74 and Car & Driver on the '75. The '75 outperforms the '74 by a fairly wide margin if you believe the tests. The '75 makes

younger brother and i used to race each other out on the highway by our house. I usually drove the 74 4 sp ( which my dad decided to keep when it arrrived at the dealership and i now own it) and he

Were these races from rest or roll-ons from some specified mph? Was this true of top speed also? The road test results fall in line with the published gearing which gives 75s a distinct edge. Driver

Basically these races were two kids screwing around in two dealership demos. There was no comparison in the two cars no matter who drove which one. I remember that there was a distinct difference in

I am not sure why everyone wants to say that the gearing in the 74's was taller than in the 75's. If the rear end ratios are 3.15:1 for the 75's and 3.54:1 for the 74's then the 75's have the taller

Yes, the '74 has a lower rear gear, but comparing the overall gearing of a manual versus automatic is a bit more complex. We're really comparing apples n' oranges. I made a general statement that the
