The Darts are 3" longer, but I don't think that will add up very quickly.

You asked "much of a difference". I think there is. My Swinger weighed in at 3460 while my Dart Sport was 3110. That was with the same 360/904/8 3/4 combo and a full interior. The Dart Sport even has an 8 point bar and subframe connectors, Weld ProStars all around with steel tubs. That's 350lbs !!!

like I said, they're decent ballpark numbers, but Im sure they could vary greatly depending on alot of factors....not to mention sticking an RB into the mix where one never was before.  |
