Older cars are just material. G-bodies have a thin 1/8 inch layer of foam backing bonded to the material. rick rick schaefer 72 El camino http://members.home.net/jimmy4/rick1972elky.html ACES #00140 Team Chevelle #00038 - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] POSI/Headliners
OK I knew about the one tire in the mud scenario and the traction, but are we talking about better mileage, handling, etc., etc., etc. When I was a kid, (and still a little now) I thought it was impressive to see both tires smokin. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe you feel they've gotten you out of spots where a standard axle would have left you stranded. Or maybe you think they don't help you much, if at all. You may even feel that the drawbacks of an antislip unit are greater than the advantages. But what do you know?" It's an interesting read if you have the time. The bottom line for dry pavement: "We also ran acceleration tests on dry pavement. The car with antislip won. It covered the standing quarter-mile in 14.6 seconds, against 15.2 for the other. Axle tramp and wheelspin lost the race for the car with the standard axle." > When headliners are installed do they have any stuffing behind them, or > are they just material > stretched across the roof?

[Chevelle-List] POSI/Headliners
Hey guys, what's the advantage of a posi over a regular one, besides smoking both tires instead of just one? Another question: When headliners are installed do they have any stuffing behind them, or are they just material stretched across the roof? - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
