It’s clear that the Cadillac is eager to decimate the Plymouth from the start, as viewers watch it drive forward and pump gas as the race approaches. Given that the fifth-generation Coupe DeVille can pack a 7.0-liter V8 engine while the Plymouth Duster offers a 5.9-liter V8, it’s obvious who has the advantage here.
Even though the Cadillac benefits from a bigger engine, that doesn’t mean the Plymouth Duster has a timid run. In fact, it is quite obvious that the Duster wants to do everything to try to beat his opponent. However, he does not quite realize this dream.
