With a turbo charged tib say(250bhp) what would be the breaking distance with the stock brakes form 100kmh (55mph) to a dead stop?
Would it be less than 4 seconds?

factory numbers from 60-0 is approx. 140 feet. I've seen some magazine and forum members testing that support this figure. The lowest number I recall seeing was 138 feet. I've not seen time associated with stopping distance but the math tells me it would be around 2 seconds. (Side bar - this is where the minimum safe distance comes from...if your at least 2 seconds behind the car in front of you, you have enough distance to stop)
