It's cool. I specifically saved that one to show one of my buddies because of the crazy looking caliper.

On the Volvo, the initial brake would be unbelievable. However the heat is going to kill it. The caliper is so big that it's not going to be able to cool down enough for the next stop and you be looking at brake fade.

That's why even F1 sticks with a 4 pot or 6 pot cover a 1/4 of the disk.
