In reply to Lawrence. How do you relate your 'descending the steep mountain' to race track conditions without regenerative braking on, as was the case here? Regenerative braking is your engine brake in mountain, the inexperienced driver just have to keep it on.

"The brakes fit the purpose of being a comfortable street car…"
And is the inexperienced driver, descending the steep mountain road, on a hot summer's day, also no problem?

This controversy continues to be stupid and pointless. This is not a track car in the first place and nobody who wants to track it will or should do it on the stock brakes.

The brakes fit the purpose of being a comfortable street car and any more aggressive brakes would reduce the comfort level.
