I faded my brakes last night with four people in it, slow'n a 164 from
100+ mph with over 700 pounds of human in it is a big task, when I was
getting around the 50 mph mark I was laying it on the pedal, and was not
doing too much, this also included down shifting through all the gears
to help. By the time I got to the stop I could smell the brakes, and
smell the fear of 3 terrified passengers, It fun to cruise at a twords a
stop sign at 100 and think out loud to your passengers "gee, I hope my
brakes work".
