    Well see here, you've made my point for me.  Sorry 'bout the sarcasm in
the previous post.  Any damn car can use bigger more powerful brakes.  Slow
as a turtle 80 FWD 4 cylinder can outbrake speedy CQ20v's.  Sure on the
street I don't need to outbrake anyone on a corner, well most of the time,
but having better brakes means I can stop faster, harder, later, time and
time again.  Sure my car doesn't do 0-60mph as fast as a 20v or turbo model,
but when I do get up in that 3 digit range it's rather nice to have those
Porsche brakes hauling the car down.
    Can't wait to get this car track worthy.  Everytime I think it's ready
something else breaks, leaks, or needs work, plus I want more power before I
hit the track, proper season is important too.  I'll forego the extra power,
if I can, and get to an event to really see how this car stacks up against
the quattros with stock brakes:)
