Braking - The Results
Ultimate Streetcar Challenge 2008
Evolution X: Like the Evo VIII, the AMS entry had a very well-balanced braking setup. The car was very stable and stopped just 1-foot shorter than the new GT-R. The pedal pressure also stayed firm during the entire run, which should give confidence on the road course.
BMW 325i: How can this car have such big brakes and not stop? It's like having a 1,000whp dyno queen and driving through a tight road course. This Bimmer had a lot of brakes, but they just weren't useable. During the first three-quarters of the pedal travel, you don't feel anything. During the last quarter of the pedal travel, you get a "mushy" feeling. Even with a monster leg press pushing the pedal to the floor, this BMW just seemed to be coasting to a stop. -Wesley Hamachi
