TrevS Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi all This might be a repost but I was just checking out the wiki page for the mkiv supra and there is a fact on it about the braking system that I found very remarkable. 'This unique Formula One inspired braking system allowed the Supra Turbo to record a 70-0 braking distance of 149 feet (45m) , the best braking performance of any production car tested in 1997 by Car and Driver magazine. This record was finally broken in 2004 by 3 feet by a Porsche GT.' Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Quite what was unique, or F1 inspired escapes me. Oh, Car and Driver, the American publication..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
