I'm heading to the NASCAR capital of the world Saturday (Charlotte). Let me know what's up with the move and such to DC. I figure I'll make it up that way at least once this summer.

Help me build my Stage III s4 - osu s2k 2006-05-02 12:37:01 (464 views)

If you can, take it to the track in stock form so that you have a benchmark - O.W. Kenobi 2006-05-02 15:04:00 (64 views)

you will need brakes - Shabadoo Tooning 2006-05-02 14:42:21 (61 views)

Why will he 'need' brakes? The car comes with them. - Flyboy 2006-05-02 16:51:26 (56 views)

stock brakes are woefully inadequate for a stage III car, especially if he's going to the track - Shabadoo Tooning 2006-05-02 17:24:28 (62 views)

I disagree. Stock brakes were designed for a car that's factory limited to 143 mph. - Flyboy 2006-05-02 18:09:00 (104 views)

Sounds to me like you've never been in a tuned S4 before ! You do know that - zev@avalonmotorsports 2006-05-02 23:14:36 (138 views)

Could you explain further how a car that is a daily driver must have - Flyboy 2006-05-03 07:47:32 (100 views)

I'm still wondering what the connection is between the ability of a vehicles - Flyboy 2006-05-04 08:26:58 (59 views)

Energy is energy - nyet 2006-05-04 09:44:42 (63 views)

As you're well aware, the energy you are referring to is a result of the - Flyboy 2006-05-04 12:59:33 (66 views)

A 500hp s4 will have significantly higher entry speeds at EVERY braking zone - nyet 2006-05-04 13:41:37 (61 views)

And it's braking zone will start sooner so it can slow to the speed of the other car. - Flyboy 2006-05-04 19:01:46 (62 views)

Braking points depend on tires and brakes, not horsepower. - zev@avalonmotorsports 2006-05-05 12:10:35 (50 views)

and its going to dump more energy into the brakes - nyet 2006-05-04 19:23:34 (49 views)

We still haven't gotten around to answering the question of, at what HP level - Flyboy 2006-05-05 04:04:23 (61 views)

Driving habits are definitely a factor in whether or not a car will need - zev@avalonmotorsports 2006-05-05 12:15:18 (61 views)

If you drive at all fast on a roadcourse, you're going to fade the stock brakes after a while. - O.W. Kenobi 2006-05-03 08:13:01 (60 views)

No disagreement with me there. Just trying to look at the advice being - Flyboy 2006-05-03 08:43:52 (73 views)

They'll be good for one stop from that speed. But that's about it... - O.W. Kenobi 2006-05-02 18:51:00 (53 views)

in my opinion, only if he is going to the track are they really needed - mtaesch 2006-05-02 18:03:22 (52 views)

I agree - to a point - Shabadoo Tooning 2006-05-02 18:08:52 (63 views)

isnt the only function of bigger brakes to not fade during repeated heavy braking (at the track)? - mtaesch 2006-05-02 18:15:01 (52 views)

Yes. They're simply a larger heat sink for the energy to be dumped into. The - Flyboy 2006-05-02 18:29:31 (80 views)

I want to add a little here. The stock Hp-2 calipers are NOT the major - zev@avalonmotorsports 2006-05-03 15:04:38 (81 views)

If that car is being driven hard during those 1-2 track events, then yes, a BBK is necessary. - O.W. Kenobi 2006-05-03 08:14:58 (48 views)

Again, I agree. I did one event, realized I would want to do some more, - Flyboy 2006-05-03 08:47:13 (63 views)

2nd. he's got ST 332s on the list, which is a good call. - nyet 2006-05-02 14:43:13 (53 views)
