The front looks fake but the rear is actually pretty convincing with the shadow of the spokes on the roters. Either way those are some puny ass calipers and the rear disks actually look bigger than the fronts. Beautiful 355 though.

The stoping power on that beast would be NUTS! You can fly out of the windshield if you had to make a sudden hard stop!

I rememeber hearing that a formula 1 can come to a complete stop in 1 second. Then again I might ahve just completely pulled that out of my ass.

That's about the only F355 that I'd say may be more beautiful than a 360. Photoshop or not, that is a HOT car pic.

You did.

My bet is the braking is not much if any better than stock. The stock caliper / rotor setup is capable of locking the wheels up -- beyond that you need more tire to decrease stopping distances.

The small advantage those rotors might have in cooling capacity is quickly negated by the increase in weight.

It'd be interesting to see how those suckers would stack up with a CGT in braking. Or any other car, for that matter. After seeing the 0-100-0 numbers on the CGT and seeing the brakes in action, I doubt any other street production car in the world can compete.
