Where to go to measure stopping distance??

[nitrorocket]

In spring when the snow melts , I would like to dial in my brakes. What have you guys done for this? Is there anywhere that has equipment for this?? I would like to do adjustments and even possibly swap pads to try to egt the fastest stopping distance possible. Speeds from 60-0 and 100-0.

How about a G-tech meter and an empty parking lot?

You won't really need any special tools to adjust your front/rear bias, just keep adjusting until the fronts lock just slightly before the rears.

Boy, it has been abbout 6 years since I used my G-TECH. I will have toi figure out how it works once again. Think that will be accurate? How do the magazines do it??

Someplace perfectly safe like public highways or grammar school parking lots?

Lucky for me I have a industrial park only a mile away I have a nice 1/2 mile stretch of road in there with field to easily get from 60-0 and 100-0. I will have to make a goal! 0-100 and back to 0 in 10 seconds should be a reasonable goal?? Dang snow!!

I don't think you'll do a 10 sec 0-100-0, just based on this:

http://www.ultimasports.co.uk/records/part6.html

"Driven by Ultima Director, Richard Marlow, the British built and designed Ultima GTR road car set a new world record time of a staggering 9.4 secs for the 0-100mph-0 sprint. The GTR scorched from 0-60mph in 2.6 secs, 0-100mph in 5.3 secs and braked to zero from 100mph in a mind blowing 3.6 secs, which are all in themselves road car world record times."

Maybe 11 seconds then.

I don't know how realistic it is but if Schwartz can make a big ass cadilllac out perform a lambo in pretty much every respect except gas mileage, It wouldnt surprise me if your twin turbo car beats a normal asperation ultima in a strait away. I know from previous videos your car is stinken fast! I dought it can stop as fast, but you might have it on exceleration.

Right now the car should do about 0-100 in 5-6 seconds or so. That would leave me 4-5 seconds to stop. I can't wait til spring to try it out!!
