Uhm no. Like spaf said, what tires? surface? conditions?
What do you mean by "no" ? I told what tires the car uses (it has 2 other tires available but they are not on par with the RE050A's). Heres another source which shows a shorter distance.

Yes I have. I have shown that a heavier car with the same street tire has shorter stopping distances than our heavenly s2000. How come you cannot come up with a logical argument against this?

I have every time. What you haven't shown is how a bbk improves the s2k's stopping distance. If you're suggesting that you buy a new car to shorten your stopping distance then go for it.

You seem to think stopping distance to 0 is what its all about too. Which its not. Single tests of stopping distance is a measure of 1) Tires, 2) Brake Compound, 3) Road Surface and 4) Car weight. Thats all.

You don't get it... Get your BBK and impress your friends.

Thats what I will do since I know it will prevent you from having a good nights rest.

hardly If I worried about that the idiot "masses" bought for their s2ks I'd never sleep.

^You sir are an instigator

Heavy car or lighter car, a simple thing as front camber will change the stopping distance on the same car, so comparing different cars is a bit less empirical...

I'm having a set of AS legal CCWs built right now. I'll post the weights when I get them in hand - should be a couple weeks from now.

I'm pretty sure they'll be the only set of AS-legal CCWs in the country - at least it was the first set John's built like this he says.
