But if you look at a F.A.S.T. or Pure Stock Muscle Car drag race you can see that the bias-ply tires are actually not that bad. However, if there's a corner... And oh God, don't even think about driving in the rain...
Mad Mike 2013-12-03 16:27	Understandable. It would be pretty cool to see the performance difference between the bias-ply tires and radials, it would certainly highlight the limitations of tires from back then.
dodgehemi426 2013-12-02 11:19	@ Mad Mike: Depends on the driver - 99% of drivers were quicker with a TF, the others (Dick Landy, Ronnie Sox and the like) could bang the four gears always so fast, that they were faster than an A-727 car by some lengths. But anyway, I drove a manual Challenger T/A and an automatic AAR 'Cuda in the Swiss Alps - those cars handle so great that it's just a pity, when you can't row that shifter through the gears! But of course, that's a matter of taste. And yes, Goodyear Polyglas are terrible to drive, but they just look so much better. I'd prefer it, if those were standard and you can upgrade them afterwards to radials like shown above.

Why does it feature those aftermarket white-letter-tires and not correct Goodyear Polyglas? Wasn't the 3 speed Torqueflite automatic transmission quicker than the 4-speed when it came to standing 1/4 miles? Although since this is a small block road racer, understandably you would want the manual transmission. As for the tires, aren't radials mean't to provide superior all round performance over bias-ply tires? Granted it is not original. Still a nice addition.
