Properly set up drum brakes will feel great until you get into a car with properly set up disc brakes. Either arrangement will work for the vast majority of the muscle car crowd.

My daily commute has put me in situations where GOOD brakes saved my bacon.



These 3 sentences by Feets sum it all up IMHO.

And as someone else mentioned, I also have had some drumbrake cars that stopped well (and some that didn't). But I have never had a discbrake car stop bad.

I have one drumbrake car left, and I drive it only on low-speed errands near the house - so I can drive it like a baby carriage.
