What's wrong about it? Do you think 4-wheel drum brakes couldn't lock, or do you think that tires and vehicle weight being equal a drum brake will stop just as fast as a disc? Because if you think either of those things then *you* are wrong.
In reply to:
A sliding tire is a sliding tire.
Yes. The point you're missing is that there's more to lockup than "that's all the tire had to give". Give me the courtesy of reading what I've written.
In reply to:
The advantage of discs over drums is cooling/fade resistance.
...which goes directly to stopping distance...
In reply to:
All other things held constant, the sliding tire with drum brakes will slide just as far as the sliding tire with 13" discs and 4-piston calipers.
Do you really think I'm that stupid? I'm talking about BEFORE LOCKUP, again, please take a moment and read the above replies.
