RobY Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 http://www.2sportscars.com/f1.shtml http://www.supercarx.com/articles/specifications/f1.htm http://www.fast-autos.net/mclaren/mclarenf1lm.html http://www.anything-auto.net/CARS/McLaren/1997_F1/ 60-0... 127 feet is dysmal! The brakes obviously suck because one pass braking has NOTHING to do with the reaction time of the driver. Everybody also knows that braking has NOTHING to do with the conditions and how well the rubber meets the pavement in those conditions! Thats why I can brake just as well in 4 inches of snow as I can on dry 80 degree concrete! Obviusly the brakes must suck because one pass braking distances are ALL THAT MATTER! It obvisously is the end all determination of braking performance! I find it disturbing that many suv's "outbrake" a Mc Laren F1... http://motortrend.com/roadtests/suv/112_0407_heart/index10.html http://motortrend.com/roadtests/suv/112_0408_camp/index12.html http://motortrend.com/roadtests/suv/112_0406_storm/index9.html http://motortrend.com/roadtests/suv/112_0309_suv/index7.html What were they thinking putting 4 piston Brembos on the car everybody knows that they are the WORST BRAKES EVAR!!!! Shame on Mc laren for making brakes that dont compensate for the driver! They must have got their braking design from ferrari its almost as sucky! http://www.fast-autos.net/ferrari/ferrarif40.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05LegacyGT330Ci Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I sense your extreme sarcasm but it was a common complaint that the brakes on the F1 were not all that great. Tiff still loves the car though, as do I.

RobY Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 for a million bucks from a car that weighs about 2300 lbs I would expect the brakes to give crash dummy like deceleration performance. Apparently physics applies for millionares too. Dont get me started on how much the lamborgini diablos brakes suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agctr Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Well why didnt the MB boys like at the Porsche Set up, seriously that could stop the World's rotation if they wanted, the tests showed in a showdown with Enzo McLaren Carrera GT Bentley GT Murcielago and WRX STi....... j/k The Carrera GT seriously has WARP stopping power, pulled up some 35 metres ealier than the ENZO at 200KMH. Seriously impressive. Adam. Now only if we could get those on our GT.... hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avishar Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I hear those carbon ceramic brakes cost $15,000 to replace the rotors and pads alone and you must do it every few times you track it. The question is would you rather replace your brakes or get a new car :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hey hey now, let's leave the F40 out of this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunderkind Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Isn't it dangerous to have a car that brakes so ever powerful? I mean surely the g-force on the driver would render him/her unconscious. heheheh.... or some kinda red belt makrs across the chest and abdomen.

Guest JessterCPA Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I wonder if the F1 has RE-92's? Maybe that is the culprit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
