Here's a snippet from a magaine reviewing the 69 GTX: Quote:
For 1969, the GTX got a little sportier with the optional Air Grabber cold air induction system (operated via a pull-tab beneath the dash) and matte-black stripe kit – both found on the hood of this featured GTX example. Testing of the big Belvedere garnered a 7.1-second 0-to-60 time and a 179-foot 65-to-0 stopping distance. While not on par with the lighter and less-optioned Road Runner, the GTX was truly “glued together well.”
The latest review of the 392 SRT8 Challenger showed a 4250 lb car stopping from 60 mph in 114 feet.
Drum brakes won't kill you. They'll serve you well for many years. Disc brakes (and larger ones at that) will serve you just as well but hold an extra safety margin as well.
You have insurance on your car. You don't expect to have a crash but it's worth the price if there is an accident. To me, brakes are the same way. Basic stuff works but I like the extra capacity.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon
