I dunno but here is some good reading. In it Ghettoracer explains how he is in control of situations where he is 4 wheels off, explains why he is right and everyone else is wrong, etc. etc. Some good reading if you like to laugh.

It was an oversteer over correction that resulted the car going low speed (~25 mph) off the track on the exit of T14. The rotation of the car WAS under control, how ever the path of the car was not exactly
Communication skills is a art
Evo8 has fantastic Brembo brakes bone stock. But unfortunately under hot lapping, it faded slightly. Owner was riding in car when the brake fade happened. The 2 wheel off was not caused by a driver's error. It is a mechanical issue.

Ohhh snap! I would've thought you put me on the other side of the line.
Thank you sir for the image. I can add it to my collection.

They LOOK fantastic, but they actually suck badly under anything but cruising & ricer-show conditions.
Remember, Brembo sells essentially 2 lines: the OEM crap that looks cool but is not that well made (but is sold by the millions to car makers like Mitsubishi), and their aftermarket race-oriented stuff which is actually superb (IMO).
It is not surprising that our friend Frankie Goes To Hollywood does not know the difference, and thinks the Evo VIII has "fantastic Brembo brakes bone stock"...

Burning Brakes
I have a picture of me and Bobby Orr, taken waaaay back (duh). That picture does not make me a great hockey player. Same thing with Boom Boom Geoffrion, Eddie Giocamin, Big Jim Nielson, etc. etc. etc.
I have raced against Derek Bell and people named Dyson (blah blah blah), but that doesn't make me a star or even provide evidence that I have a clue.
'Credentials'. Let your reputation do the talking. Racer ? What do your fellow racers think ? Instructor ? What do your fellow instructors think ?
Only in Hollywood does somebody like Paris Hilton achieve fame by 'being famous because she's famous'. The rest of the world doesn't give a ****. Results, performance, achievement....that's what counts (must have OD'ed on the 'sound like your dad' pills).

topic change....
Really i have those brakes on my subaru (not the evo ones exactly) and I think they are great brakes for the car its supposed to be. They stop my 3500lb econo-box in posthaste fashion (although i have done lines, fluid and better pads). Granted they, could be bigger/better, but they have wonderful heat dissipation and they are easy to work with (change pads so so fourth).
Although I've never had better brakes so I'm no expert. Not to point fingers, but i was under the impression that porsches also use the OEM line of Brembo products (although i have been know to be wrong).
