Rodney,
Racers often run two master cylinders in their braking systems if the rules allow.
I do like the quad MC with dual pedals, LOL
Cool.

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...
Vairy truly yours,

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!
