Some body on a MR2 page says a 93 MR2 can out brake a newer 911 turbo! so I was wandering if any body has some #'s for me or a place I could get some. Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

well, there's an apples-to-oranges comparison for you!
do they claim it can outbrake a 1993 Turbo? like many of us, the 996TT has put on quite a lot of weight in the past 12 years... it's a pretty heavy car these days. all the high-end car magazines have published road-test data on 996TT's, so the sites of Car & Driver or Road & Track would be where i'd look second. but i'd look for specifications for current-production cars at www.Porsche.com ... it's pretty hard to come up with brakes that outperform the Porsche ceramic brakes. the weight penalty may tip the scales, given equivalent tires. |

Well that may be true, but in the last race I did in Tecate MX one of the cars I got around was an MR2 and that was by braking later and carrying a tad more speed around the 180 degree turn at the end of the course. At the next corner I went into the brake zone about 50 feet or so later before I hit the binders so I was away. This is with an old 914 without ABS or other nice modern aides although I was using my new 4-bolt hubs and vented rotors!!!!

the point was to compare a 93 thats haded mod to a stock 911 turbo AWD. The new I now is apples to Oranges but is fun. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Mr-2 is a pretty light car. With sticky tires it would stick your gum on the windshield
