JMortensen Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I don't disagree that on his particular car the brakes are more show than necessity. Some people like big brakes and how they look. If you like the 13 inch wheel look then keep small brakes, but if you have bigger wheels then small brakes look well, small and IMO not that good. Ultimately he didn't build that car to kill everything on the track, so really this whole discussion is a moot point. I think he built it as a very nice street/show car and accomplished that. I agree with you, but the 13" wheel thing isn't about what looks better, it is about what is faster. But you're right, this isn't a race car. It's a show car. Guess I don't like show cars...

crazy280 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 The Saleen S7 comes with 15" front and 14" rear brakes (stock) and it weighs 2750 lbs. It also has no ABS. Of course, it reaches higher speeds on the track thanks to that huge V8. But a much heavier Lambo with smaller brakes actually outbraked it in a comparo, thanks to ABS Beautiful 510 here, by the way. I've always wanted one of these, but I'll have to finish my Z first...damn. I can't believe the level of detail, must have taken a long time to get everything that clean.
