), and a 1.80m person can sit behind rather comfortably. You're not giving proper props to the 8 
As for the brakes, I agree with Razz too. SS lines, .5 fluids, and 0-400degrees pads is all we need, even for hot track days....

Sig images are a MAX of 20K. Read the forum rules in the FAQ section.

That's a real shame, Dominion. I miss your video sigs.

Stopping Short
By SHAUN BAILEY
In its tests of new cars, Road & Track magazine routinely measures stopping distances from 60 miles an hour. The following lists include the best and worst results reported within the last four years in the magazine's Road Test Summary. All of the cars had antilock braking systems.

there is no R&T article, they are using the car reviews and basing it off of that.

I've improved my braking performance even more, I'm sure of it. My mod is realitively easy but I think I have to do a third coat of caliper paint on the left brakes because my car pulls to the right when I brake hard.
I used Rustoleum BBQ paint, I swear by the stuff! 60-0 distances have improved significantly.
