Anyone have skidpad numbers for the old E Bodies?
Does anyone here have any old car mags that list skidpad numbers for the old Challengers & Barracudas? I have a book that collects a bunch of Charger roadtests from 1966-1974 and they have skidpad numbers for just one car; a 440 powered third gen. They generated .70g with the skinny tires and standard shocks.

I'm thinking an E body with sway bars, modern performance shocks, and good wide modern radials might rival a new Charger R/T (.82g). Any thoughts?
