    Really makes me wonder what a 2+0 slick top does if the 2+2 targa pulls up at 109 feet.

    In the video, it does state "Average". Which implies more than once.

    Or they tested multiple cars, or different Tyres, or different drivers, or different road surfaces, or a combination of each. Too much ambiguity to state what was tested or not.

    Edit: ie not necessarily multiple runs.

    If you read or watched enough car performance tests the standard way to do is have 3 runs and then average the number. Not use different cars, even an idiot knows that defies the point of testing brakes if you use 3 different car.

    a zed isnt a heavy car it wasnt even when it was new i have no idea how people come up with that . The stock brakes with decent pads will stop you from 100 as quick as any other brakes but yeah they will fade out quicker i always found the limitation on stopping was grip not the calipers .

    Sorry mate :(

    I just read that and went ooops. Didn't mean that. I would never say that verbally or face to face, it's something that happens sitting behind a keyboard lol. It's freaking weird :eek:

    Apologies
