Default Top 50 best braking cars

Just found this and although the scooby is near the bottom of the list, it's only 3 metres from first BTW test was 100k ph to 0

It's only half a cars length from 1st to 30th, which is basically nothing and could quite easily be the opposite way round dependant on driver reaction time... fraction of a second difference would easily consume 3m.

Totally pointless exercise in reality as it proves nothing.

So basically its a Brembo marketing exercise, with completely irrelevant results.

Be a lot better if it was an independent review and compared Brembo to other manufacturers on the same car.

German magazine ran the test AFAIK

Just thought it was nice to see a scooby on one of these lists for a change
