Omega braking performance.
« on: 11 April 2014, 19:50:15 »
Sixty to zero in 44.79 metres and 3.36 seconds. Dry road ....driver only.

Best to check your mirrors first before trying this..... ::) ::) ::) ;)


A modern car will stop from 70 MPH in about the same distance.

Braking is a harder one to get consistent, as tyres and the amount of ABS used will severely impact it.

Less air in the tyres may help I would have thought.
