The SC/Rambler is rated at 315HP while the SS AMX is rated at 420HP.
Found Rambler Scrambler weighed in at 2994 vs 3074 for AMX. Both cars with 390- 315 horsepower engines ran 14.2 Scrambler vs 14.4 AMX. I am comparing the 390-315 horsepower motors here.

53 were made to compete in NHRA SS/D and SS/E. 11.43@127 mph.

The most famous racer to drive one was:

Beautiful drag car. Like the looks of these and the Rambler Scrambler also. AMC did well in Pro Stock for a bit with Booth-Arons performance from Mich.
