Yes, and by a very, very wide margin! The Boss 429 was straight line only!

Yup! The '71 Mach 1 had two engine options. The Windsor 351 and the other the 429 SCJ.
The SCJ could be enhanced with the Ram Air option. The Boss 351 featured the Cleveland engine.
BTW, this was NOT my actual car. Mine was exactly like this one. The license plate is me doing my usual Photoshop stuff.

Yes, the 302 was a 14 second car at the strip and the 429 a 13 second car.

I love the 71 Mach I in white.

Yes, modern engine performance is amazing but the old styling & sound are much nicer IMO.
