I'm glad I never had a car with drum brakes on the front. I came off Pikes Peak in B14 Sentra hoping I wouldn't need more than engine braking. Luckily, just about the time I was ready to stop because of brake fade the gradient decreased significantly.

I'd like to see them race down the mountain, then we'll get to see who can really drive. That carnage would be horrendous.
