The Dodge Dart GTS 440 Was So Dangerous It Made A Corvair Look Like A Volvo

Braking and handling wasn't bad in normal conditions, although parallel parking was definitely a workout. Having put over 30,000 miles on an original m-code Cuda wearing 14" Radial T/As, daily driven on the streets and highways of Vancouver, it wasn't the best in the snow, but the few times I got caught in it, I passed many newer cars abandoned on the side of the road on the way home.
The one time I would have to agree with the lack of braking prowess was on an evening run down the Barnett Hwy into Port Moody in the early 90s. I met up with a new hopped up 5.0l, and we pulled each other a number of times from 40mph. Rounding the hill we were both surprised to see traffic backed up a half mile from the intersection and both hit the binders hard. As I slid into his lane, he also slid, fortunately away from me. Then like a synchronized swimming Duo, we both slid back the other way before getting stopped maybe twenty feet from the back of the stopped pack. We looked at each other, smiled a nervous we survived grin to each other, and continued on. The only difference I could see was he had brakes after that, whereas I pulled onto the shoulders as I had none. With the steel wheels, it took a while before I wanted to get up to highway speeds.
