And I mean stand on them like a freight train was crossing the road and your life depended on it. Then immediately take it back up to 120mph and stand on the brakes a second time and take it down to 45 or so. On the second hit you should experience some pretty bad brake fade. If you try it a 3rd time,.. you'll find yourself with half the pedal you had when they were cold and it may fall to the floor completely so be warned.

Now,.. do the same with a 87 - 93 5.0 car. To make this comparison fare,.. the 5.0 car must have good rotors with less then 80k miles on them. Not one with 200k on paper thin rotors with a half failing brake system with swollen soft lines and leaking calipers etc etc. Do it with an open mind and dont set up the Fox for failure from the start.

The 87 - 93 should make it the 2nd time with minimal brake fade. On the 3rd it will experience some moderate brake fade,.. about as much as the SN95 would on the second stab.

That same kind of braking is whats done at Sebring on the back straight into turn 17,... then up the front into turn 1 and then into turn 3. Very fast track that can be brutal on brakes.
