<VV> Mastering the cylinders

[rodneyspooner at corvairgarage.com]

One could always install two brake pedals (one to control the left side and one to control the right side). Then you could 1) install two single master cylinders giving you a dual brake system, or 2) install two duals giving you a quad brake system.

Now everyone can be happy. If not, well then...if the shoe fits...that's the brakes.

OK, I'll stop now...

I like  that idea, a quad master cylinder, but only if it were totally 
adjustable so a  driver could alter the braking forces for each wheel. 

Wow, think of  the racing impact.

That is Enhanced Stability Control - Except not completely at the "beck and 
 call" of the driver. Sort of an extension of anti-lock brakes. I can tell 
you  that the factory set-up are build to save-the-bacon of a driver who has 
either  made a mistake or hits a sudden hazard - on the street. They are 
nothing but  intrusive on a competition car. Once in a while I have entered 
the autocross  course without turning off the "help" of the system. (C6 
Vette)You know in the  first or second corner. Since it was usually a practice 
lap, I stopped and  turned it off (looking foolish, but not adding to my time.) 
With enough  instrumentation, I suppose you might be able to add-in enough 
other data inputs  to actually help. But I prefer to actually "drive" the 
car. BUT - I always leave  it fully engaged while driving on the street. Ya 
never know . . . . . 
 
PS - My Corvair racecar has no such encumbrances!
