Re: IML: disc brake kit/69 brakes

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do not for one second believe that a '69 could stop from 60 mph in 116 
feet, or that '69 Lincoln could stop in 109.  That was top of the class for 
sports cars that weighed almost a ton less through the mid-nineties.  I'm 
sure the '69 had excellent brakes for the time, but does anybody believe the 
car stopped 45 feet shorter for MT?  What's the deal with that test-one of 
you guys must know?

Also, John, I'm not surprised your Imperial might feel better than your 
Supercrew.  Pickups do not instill confidence in braking, but computers 
(anti-lock, etc) have certainly helped on that score.
