I'm still disagreeing.
The 1500 being a heavier car will have more weight transfer under braking and
therefore needs to work those marginal disks even harder while do less at the
rear. Surely an argument for bigger brakes up front.
As far as 3 hours of racing braking goes is this a car that weighs the same
as a roadgoing 1500 or a 64 that weighs many hundreds of pounds less? So, how
come it would be adequate for road use?
