Disc Brakes or Drum Brakes

No comparison.

I can still remember "back then" my 69 383 RR which had 11" drums, or the old 64 Dodge 426, same drums, but on a hot day on a windy road, if you "got frisky" you THOUGHT a little about just how much "of that" you wanted to use up

When I got the 70 (440-6 car) there was no comparison. None. Yah, you could fade 'em a little here and there, but that thing was a LOT faster, and took a lot more 'doin' to lose a little. The '70, by the way, had single piston floating calipers.

Having said that, millions of people drove hundreds of millions of miles, over the years, with drum brakes. One thing I never figured out, for any of the "big three" is why "the same body" AKA cheapo moredoor Belv. or Biscayne with a 6 or 283 "didn't need" as big a brakes as a car with a larger engine --- with the family, luggage, camping gear, and the boat......
