This is kind of a stupid comparison because no one is ever going to put their brakes under this sort of stress either through daily driving or track use. You can also blow up Carbon Ceramic brakes. Just watch a Formula 1 race at a high speed and heavy braking track like Montreal.

Not to mention this is also a 20 year old Ford Fiesta and the writer is comparing it against a C63's iron brakes?
