Yea, well try stopping a heavy *ss Fox Stang GT with the MEGA POS COMPLETELY WORTHLESS pre-87 brakes!

If people bothered to read in the pre-87 Stang owners manual they would see the following:
"The brakes on this POS car are for looks only. The brakes on this POS car are not meant to be used for any functional purpose.

To stop this POS car, open up the Driver's side door, and drag your foot. This is the only acceptable, reliable and safe way to stop this POS car."


Honestly! It the owner's manual says exactly the above. Or, it should say exactly the above!
