Just watched the 'Cuda roat test. It was cool! Thanks for posting them! 

Oh damn, that 71 Challenger was just about perfect! 383-4 with a 4 speed and air conditioning, right on!

Ok, I loved this for one thing!! 
  My questions was did they make in improvements to the braking system by 73 on the Challenger. I had some problems like this with mine, before I got the brakes restored. I have had little driving on it, since due to a new project. The one complaint in the movie for the 71 was brakes sucked. I have power assist stock front disc, just like the car shown. Is my system the same or did they improve the system?

I half expected Joe Mannix to jump out of the car at any moment!

Great videos! 

Looking at the Cuda vid, for an older car, it cornered pretty well, not flat through the corners but pretty good for a a car with bias ply tires!

I think the brake complaint mainly stems from the extra weight of the big block 383 with air conditioning, it adds quite a bit over the other test with a small block without air. Power front disc is as good as it got then. If you are running larger than stock wheels you can get a larger diameter rotor and update your brake system but when all is working right it should stop great.
