Well, nothing like provoking a little controversy and some physics discussions! Sorry to all that contributed to the discussion for the solution to be so simple. The car only shows less than 500 miles.
I knew that the car had been raced, and my first suggestion to Tom was, "are the brake pads glazed?" I don't know why the pads weren't replaced early on in the investigation--Tom will have to answer that. Many thanks to all. The car is beautifully made, looks wonderful and drives incredibly. I look forward to the chance to drive it with brakes!
