700 HP, a two thousand pound car, and 4 wheel carbon/carbon disk brakes.
 Life is good. Don't tell me you are an F1 fan Gary?

P.S. Boy that powerball would have been nice.

Based on the weight distribution F to R, rear discs would probably be
overkill, considering the ABS. Perhaps regular cabs would benefit more
than
my CC from rear discs.

Has anyone ever watched a Formula 1 race where the camera angle showed
the
Carbon/Carbon disc brakes glowing bright orange under braking? Scary.
