Chevrolet Caprice question? Which one has better performance?

Which Chevrolet Caprice has better performance between a 1976 Caprice with the 454 V8 or a 1977 Caprice with the 350 V8?
What I've meant by better performance is 0-60mph times and quarter mile times.

Performance? ... burn the tires off = 454. mpg = 350. But if ain't got a posi rear end, the 350 will burn the tire off. =^ )

454 had 225hp
350 had 170hp

'76 Caprice weighed 4250lbs
'77 Caprice weighed 3600lbs

Both Caprices are somewhat evenly matched, but IMO I would say the '77 was faster. They both would probably go 0-60 in 11 seconds and a 1/4 mile in the low 18's or so.
