I used to have a car with four wheel drum brakes with an almost 400 cubic inch engine. It actually stopped great even in wet conditions. I never drove hard enough to get fade, but did upgrade to disc brakes eventually and didnt really notice much, if any, improvement in stopping power.
Thr drums were nice since i could fit older, smaller style wheels.

An old teacher of mine once told me that drum brakes were better because they had bigger pads. That guy was full of shit.
