Pascal vs C

If you were to give a language like Python static typing and make it a compiled language instead of interpreted, you basically end up with something like Pascal. So how would you rate Pascal's abilities compared to C? I know dynamic typing requires runtime checking, but would it be possible to have dynamic typing in a compiled language like Pascal?

Fun fact: On old Lisp Machines the GC was kind of slow, so sometimes people used to turn it off to speed up the machine. (Of course, nowadays GCs are fairly fast.)
