YouTube Road Test
Since this vid was posted in 2008 somebody has probably already posted this but just in case.

A 1972 Car & Driver road test of a W-30 4 spd convertible. They put this brute to the test. "Drifting" was NOT invented by these hi-tech Japanese tuners.
What's interesting is that the car is a 4 spd. Every road test I ever read was with an automatic.

I looked up a written review of my wifes 05 Aztek andI was really surprised to find that a 39 year old car stops about the same if not better than a brand new high tech ABS car.
60-0 for the Aztek 139'
50-0 for the Olds 87'
70-0 for the Olds 191' That's a BIG spread over a 50 mph stop![EEK!](https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)

And since mine doesn't have p/b I'm wondering if I'd ever get that monster stopped.

I just realized that since this car is a 4 spd W, it didn't have p/b (I know this was true for the '70 and assume it's the same for subsequent years?)
