I'm guessing for you Sammy that the <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">GO</span></span> pedal was significantly more worn on your ride than the brake pedal!

-----Just think about it for a minute. A pro-street type car has a tremendous amount of rubber on the road in the rear, and very little in the front. This throws what ever proportioning system a car like this has way off. Hard, emergency type braking is definetly thrown way off. Guys that dont change some stuff around and do some testing are in for a big surprize when there is a panic stop involved......Bill S

IMO this is the perfect stance for a 67-69 Camaro. Front end up in the air, car raised all around with a slight rake -very aggressive looking. Car just sits right...but the side pipes are way to short and small. Car ran a grump lump scoop. Car belonged to Sandy Macri from Westchester NY circa 1977 or so. Where abouts today unknown

BTW Tires are E78-14, N50/15 and 14 x6 and 15x10 Cragars

That is at the race track,looking good. Day-2 look is from seeing race cars looking that way and looking cool. Paul

Those are some awesome rear tires on that Camaro! I like it! I can easily remember back in the Eighties and of just being in love with the whole &quot;Pro Street&quot; craze and seeing a big, steamroller set of Mickey Thompson 15&quot;-16&quot;-17&quot; wide tires at places like the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals just made my day. Nowadays, I really CAN'T stand that look and I often think about how many neat, rare Musclecars would have been &quot;tubbed out&quot; if me and many others could have afforded to do that expensive type of chassis work back then! I've raced some pretty serious Drag Radial machines and have been involved with some 10.5 cars for a long time now and I just love the look and serious-ness of a mini-tubbed Drag car with 295 or 315 rear Drag Radials or a Mickey Thompson 10.5W. Ain't nuthin' tuffer-lookin' than a '67-'68 Camaro with a set of 10.5W X 31.00 Mickeys out back!
