We had a ton of fun in a 74 SD 455 TA, during the high school years. I chucked ours around a local track one day (I was racing my MG at the same track, so knew it well). It did alright in terms of handling, nicely drifting through the corners, but the brakes were atrocious! You"d hit a stop and there was no feel left - you either stopped in time or you didn"t. The Americans lagged behind in disc brake technology until more recently! Bill
