Disc brakes are an improvement in technology.  Which I'm guessing Triumph 
figured out sometime in 1956.  One of the reasons I'm able to beat Corvettes on 
the race track, is because of their inferior front drum brakes to my Triumph 
discs.  An errant ball or Squirrel crossing the street may also be a good 
reason to have better brakes.  Chevy didn't add discs to the front of a 
Corvette until 1963.  Duh.
