Interesting brake test: Wet vs Dry.
I did some timed runs braking from 60mph on the same plot of pavement. I recorded the dry runs they came back today and recorded runs during the rain. Roads had been soaked for at least 4hrs and rain was continuing to fall during the test. Road has good runoff so there wasn't any standing water. Tires are Potenza SO-3's with Hawk HPS brake pads.
Dry time average: 2.7 seconds.
Wet time average: 3.1 seconds.
The ABS kicks in hard but does an excellent job of stopping the car. We timed my friends C3 Vette (1976) and it took 3.7 seconds in the dry.
