    Not only that, but that taxi on t-bars and leaf springs outran some very high dollar pro touring cars at the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge recently.

    Brad, I believe the test driver said they were running 275/35/18 on 18 x 9 1/2 wheels. Don't know if this is what you were looking for. I need some really good drag radials for my Challenger. It is scary squirrely with the Bridgestones and over 600 ponies!  :smilielol:Great clip, thanks for sharing!!  :bigsmile:

    The T bar & Leaf spring suspension was by far the best in the 60s & still shines even today  :2thumbs:
