Hey all!
I took my '04 Viper out for some good stick time and decided to test the brakes out. I accelerated until around 160 and got on the brakes real hard. To my surprise, the brakes faded out almost instantly. Now granted I was smart and left tons of room incase this did happen but if I really did need to get on the brakes to avoid something at that speed, it would be all bad. It felt as if the brakes were non-existant and took FOREVER to stop. The are was running at normal operating temps and the brakes werent used that much up to this point.
Has anyone experienced this? What would cause the brakes the fade that bad, that quick.. Especially since these brakes are supposeably very good.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
