Re: ITR Braking distance? (civicky)
Most car magazines ive seen that tested the R (Car and Driver, Sport Compact....) got around 115-120ft for the 60-0 mph brake test. Specs on the evo and sti should be in any car magazine as such.

Generally it's 115, give or take a few.
Kind of incredible that the Cayenne can do it in 112 and it weighs something like 5 or 6000 lbs. I guess 6 piston Porsche brakes may have something to do with that.

All I know is that the stock Celica GT-S can outbrake a stock R 
But then again, who keeps stock brake component on their ITR these days....

I actually saw a test where the R out braked the GTS. Was SCC I believe. The R did it in 112ft if I'm not mistaken. However in most tests the GTS did edge it out by a few feet.

Eat this Cayenne!
I wonder what the 60-0 stopping distance would be now? Just over 100 feet?

The 3 Cars that brake better than the ITR:
2002 Ferrari 360 Modena 110 ft.
Infiniti G35 Sedan 110 ft.
2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 111 ft
In other words, the ITR has supercar braking...

Re: ITR Braking distance? (civicky)
Car & Driver typically does 70-0, not 60-0 braking. The published ITR 70-0 numbers from C&D was 161 feet I believe, slightly better than the STi (166?) and slightly worse than the EVO (156?). Not bad for a car using single piston, off the shelf Accord calipers 
lol.
I think it just goes to show how good the ITR brakes really are, both those cars have fantastic brakes.

I do.
It's very well proportioned, front to rear, and the ABS is <u>at</u> or at least <u>very</u> close to what threshold braking would be for a professional driver.
High temperature fluid and VR spec pads from Cobalt Friction is all I need at the moment. Maybe next year.
To be honest, I've noticed that most of the people who've had a complaint about the ITR brakes would have had an even bigger complaint with any other car's brakes, because the reason they're having brake problems is because they're overusing the brakes on the track, prolonging the braking zone instead of compressing it, thereby causing fade that wouldn't exist if they were a little more experienced.
Was doing the same thing a few years ago.</TD></TR></TABLE>
The last lesson most race drivers learn is proper break technique. It is also where 99% of the races are won or lost. It is far trickier then it appears.

Re: ITR Braking distance? (tsunami_zc)
remember, brakes don't stop the car, tires do...considering stock ITRs are tested on their relatively skinny although admittedly very sticky 195 RE010s, the numbers are very good...upgrading brakes can help with feel and fight fade, but for absolute decelration your stock brakes can lock up all 4 tires, and stickier tires are the way to shorten stopping distances.

Re: ITR Braking distance? (GRM Scott)
You hit the nail right on. Braking distances are greatly shortened with r compound tires.
I run RA-1's on the street with brembos and Hawk HP+. I'll be hard pressed to find a comparable street car that brakes as good.
In autocross setup, with the Hoosiers, the threshold is far, far away.
And yes, the ABS that is fitted on the R, is among the best I have tried. It allows near threshold braking and is a must in the wet.

AMEN to that!!!
I also have RA-1's - Worth Every Penny also.... COBALT FRICTION BRAKES... Also worth every penny.... Then you reduce the vehicle weight by 200 Pounds - Can someone say Tar covered brick wall..... I challenge any vehicle to stocp this quickly.
Example. I have followed: Porsche GT2's, GT3's, 3.6 Turbos, Turbo S's, Ferrari 360 Challenge Cars, Nascar Race Cars, Spec Miata's, Formula Mazda's, Corvette's, well, basically anything.... And you know what? I always close on all of these under braking. It's not the driver.... it's the car! - well at least this time!
-Blake - Who thinks his 60-0 is about 96 Feet!
