Here is the setup I used for the '63 Thunderbird in my Muscle D Comparison at the Goose Point circuit. It was good for a time of 5:46.46 . If that doesn't sound too impressive, just look at the weight - 4442 road- crushing pounds. You have to plan your braking far in advance. In general, my speeds in corners were about 10 mph slower than a Firebird Formula.
