[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 2918028, member: 19833"] I am a tired of trying to explain. As you have the books and "understand" them, I am sure you have read about instantaneous versus average g-froces. At the drag strip, car A can pull a higher g-force than car B, but still take longer to get to the opposite end of the track because of ALL THE OTHER FACTORS! This is the same idea with the GT and Z06. The GT may have pulled a higher g-force at the onset of braking (assuming they reported instantaneous g-force), but the Z06 stopped shorter. That is what is important, that is the end result, that is all that matters. If they did indeed record average g-forces over the entire braking distance, then we would have to talk about equipment and test setup, etc. How accurate is that little G-meter thing you plug in your cigarette lighter? (get my point). The bottom line is that the Z06 stopped CONSIDERABLY shorter than the GT in all comparisons of the two cars. That is all you need to know to know the Z06 has SUPERIOR braking performance. On second thought, heat dissipation and any resulting brake fade would be nice to know also. [/QUOTE]
