Can anyone explain why I can’t find any information regarding 2 door hardtop JCW braking distance from 60-0? With these big brakes and light weight, I would imagine it’s pretty stellar, so why is it never reported? Does anyone have the data?

Thanks!

Kevin

 

Car and Drive does 70-0.

JCW recorded 158 ft.

For reference a Toyota 86 with the Michelin PS4 and Brembo did 151 ft.

 

See below: 70-0

Let me add that when I drive my GMC Sierra I'm almost rear ending every stopped car in front of me.

 

Dem's the best brakes I have ever driven.

Need to go from 65 to 30 - 20 times in 10 minutes? Dem' Brembos are the way.

I've taken four Minis to the Dragon in the last decade, a only Gollum IV has inspired such complete confidence.

Stopping distance varies depending on tires and surface, but heat management and consistency depends on rotors, calipers, and pads.

F56 Works is the cat''s ***..

Cheers,

These are so so numbers. IMHO 11 m/s² is minimum requirement for any hot hatch today.

 

these numbers don’t take into account the F56 JCW has never been offered with anything close to a performance-oriented tire. The PS4s tire would dop those distances significantly. Tires are one of the main reasons the GTI always wins comparisons.

Edit: can we also discuss how the first of your facts and figures test hilariously compares the F56 JCW to the GP2 without really mentioning that it starts doing that.
