Yeah I know all that. They also removed the self adjusters. It's not just the static weight.
A 2022 Honda Civic has a listed weight of 2877-3126 lbs, comparable to a first gen cuda. See 11" drums under there? Or on a drag strip?
Old time? I bought my first Barracuda in 1969 and just retired after 47 yrs in mechanical engineering and used 3D modeling and FEA. Not just to verify strength, but to eliminate weight and material. You think 3D printing is new? I first did it in 1994. Sent the part files on a 3-1/2" floppy to Michigan so I've been around.
