I gotta choose my words carefully here, but the numbers don't lie, which means I'm in for a rough ride. Simply put, four out of five hot rods have crappy brakes. (If you feel like flaming me, my email address is john.hunkins@sorc.com. Subject line: I Brake For Nothing.) By crappy, I mean the typical classic car stops only half as well as a Ford F-350 headed to the scrap yard with a load of smashed Toyotas. Next time you're at a car show walking the aisles admiring beautiful paint and polished blowers, take a peek between the wheel spokes and keep a running tally of stock brakes versus upgraded brakes. Even when you set the bar really low and count junkyard swaps that use secondhand OE parts with a questionable history, the numbers are underwhelming. At a typical car show (one that doesn't have an autocross to skew the results), the take rate is around 15 percent, maybe 20 on a good day.

机译：我要在这里仔细选择我的话，但数字不会说谎，这意味着我很艰难。简而言之，五分之四的热棒刹车都很烂。 （如果您觉得我很生气，我的电子邮件地址是john.hunkins@sorc.com。主题行：I Brake For Nothing。）cr脚，我的意思是典型的老爷车只能停一半，而福特F-350为首装载着被砸毁的丰田汽车的废料场。下次您在车展上漫步时，欣赏美丽的油漆和抛光的鼓风机，在轮辐之间偷看一下，并保持连续刹车与升级刹车的对比。即使您将门槛设置得很低，并且对使用二手OE零件且历史可疑的垃圾场交换进行计数，但数量仍然令人under目。在一个典型的车展上（没有自动交叉来歪曲结果），乘车率约为15％，在美好的一天可能为20。
