it does not seem that far off. perhaps a bit farther though but idk

from 60mph, i can stop within an intersection and a car lenght... don't really know how wide the intersection is though haha but its seems like a normal 2 lane one, then again hawaii streets are different then other... i should really hook up my gtech pro and see what it says. oh and i was using 215 55 16's front and back and they are crappy/drift tires. i think i could have stopped a bit faster if i was wearing my 235 50 17's on the front (kuhmo supra extacys) and 265 45 17's on the rear (S-03's).

dont go by my word though, go out and try it out for yourself and report back

Hi,

I regulary go to my local race track croft www.croftcircuit.co.uk for track days.

I always go out on the first session with a professional instructor to "brush up" on my driving skills.

If you have a look at the circuit layout you will see a tight hairpin followed by a long straight before a 90 degree corner (clearvaux).

To help the novices they put cones out at the braking, turning points and corner apex. I usually get to about 110 mph on the straight, and I only have to brake half way between the braking cone and the corner turning point!!!

I always scare my instructor to death!!! The instructors are amazed to find out just how well our Rex's handle!!

I have good racing brake fluid but the calipers are stock. I do however, have lowered Ohlins suspension which I think helps.

All the same - I am lapping the Croft circuit faster than the UK touring cars! AND BELIEVE ME - THATS NOT DOWN TO MY DRIVING SKILL!!! I'M CRAP REALLY.
