I put SRT brakes on my roadster which should help with that,,,,assuming I ever use them


A Stick Shift thru the Dragon needs very little braking. Use the engine. Drop to Third gear, pull to second as you round the hairpin. Hit the gas.


Transmissions are built for driving.


Brakes are for stopping


Keep those wheels rolling thru the twisties or you will just slide off the road.
