Dual rear calipers? I’m a moron

[davidkwpg]

Can’t believe I just noticed today on my performance pack that there is dual rear calipers.
Very cool but feel stupid for not noticing.

never knew dual calipers existed

One is just for the drift brake.

Drift brake. You know, for all the drifting Mustang owners do. Tokyo style.

Yep, the brembos are dedicated to stopping the car!

You do realize how funny that sounds right?

The dedicated parking brake is pretty beefy too

Was waiting for somebody to catch onto that.

just never seen a dedicated parking brake before. I wonder-does that only come with the Performance pack?

having the tires swapped today got to see how beefy the discs are….just wish they were a 2 piece with brake hat. But the stock wheels completely hide the centre ring that always rusts on brakes so I can live with that. A 2 piece set for front and rear is $2300 Canadian. That’s insanely over-priced

And brakes brings me to pedals. Can’t believe it’s the exact same set of pedals that my 2015 had. They are ok but disappointing considering they totally redid the interior but did hit the parts bin for some smaller things.
Do like that the glovebox auto locks as well as the centre console bin. Never had that before on any car.

Yes only with PP as the rear brembos have no built in park brake hardware as most cars with rear disc brakes do.

Because It's not a parking brake, it's a drift brake. Non PP GTs use the rear single caliper for parking.

I could be wrong... but I believe the drift brake setting controls the actual brembo rear brakes (as line lock does the fronts) as I think the park brake is only off or on (electric not hydraulic).

No, the drift brake is separate from the Bembos.
