bnight replied to the thread Advice on setup for street and track!.Thanks I don't left foot brake but stopping 1800 kg ( 3968 lbs) car from 200 km/h (124 mph) takes a lot of toll especially when your brake pads are triggering ABS and spending so much more time on the brakes. My tracks are very short 1.86 miles... (see full post)-

First, this is some really cool testing you've done here. Second, boiling SRF is impressive. Time to increase the ducting. I don't know if you left foot brake, but be careful of crossing pedals if you do (both at the same time as you transition...

You'll boil the fluid before you fade the DS2500. Keep an eye on wear. Measure the pads before and after running. If you see any negatives from high brake temp, it will be excess wear.Some cars can take those big friction numbers. Think about...

It's a mass production thing, decent coil overs cost north of $5K, they also require a lot of maintenance, I doubt a set would last 15K miles on the street without overhauling, that's why you'll only see them in high dollar applications. The...

Like.Sorry to ask, but, if you don't ask . . .Why is the stock system not a coil over but a strut?I mean, there is a coil over the shock absorber or damper system. When I search, "What is a coil over" the answer is pretty much the same thing as... -
blacksheep-1 reacted to BackInBlack's post in the thread Stupid Question About Coil Overs with Like.I always thought that was funny too. "Coilovers" have the ride height adjustment, even though they both have coils over a strut.Here's another one for ya: Isn't the stock exhaust system a, "catback" exhaust? :) Bonus: I bought some aftermarket...

bnight reacted to Junkyard Dog's post in the thread Advice on setup for street and track! with Like.I wish I had saved the link, but I read somewhere that the Dark Horse with handling package was able to decelerate at 1.4G without the ABS overriding. This (and the tires Ford chose) is why it had the shortest stopping distance of any...
