67 rcsb vs 99 rcsb both same drivetrain?

So im trying to do some guessing and figuring out to do a comparision. Most of this will rely on your opinion and prolly what youve seen. Say both trucks have the 5.3/ 4l60e and both are running the same size tire and gear ratio. They run on a 1/4 mile track. Who wins? how bad? I know there is a weight difference of prolly 700lbs,buy how is weight distrabution and will aero dynamics take effect for those 15 seconds?

I would think the 99 would be a little quicker. Due to the better suspension those truck have. By a little quicker I would think about half a truck faster.

Pending traction and tune, the lighter vehicle will most likely win, but there are other varibles that can come into play.

One of the biggest factors is the tune.
