You should have at least one of each. Even Jay Leno says every car collection should
have a Model T in it. When I want to putts I take the Model T and when I want to drive
any distance I take the Model A.
With Kevalar bands and a littler higher compression the Model T does very well.
I have had a set of Kevalar bands in my T for 15yrs. and have adjusted them about
once a year and only about an 1/8 of a turn on the low pedal none on the reverse
or brake although it has the big rocky mountain brakes on it. Also a necessity
for when the brakes on a stock Model T go out your in deep doo doo. The brake band
can go out the drive shaft can break or if an axle key goes....no brakes.
The rocky mountains make the car stop almost as good as a Model A.
