Re: Brakes and Shocks
Fatih, the turbo's longer stopping distance was because of the extra 500lbs that it carries.
I have experienced ice mode in my car when I am trying to brake hard at higher speed when turning. Not trail braking as such but rather as a control measure in a sweeper. The rear end is unloaded in a lateral fashion and the PSM is trying to compensate to maintain control. Last time it happened was at NJMP going into that sweeper before you get to the octopus. In my owners manual it says that you can press the brake pedal even in this condition{doesn't call it ice mode} to apply more brakes. I have done it and pressed through the ice mode. It is very unnerving the first time it happens.
Doesn't the cup car have 4 way adjustable shocks? I'm sure the drivers and mechanics had them dialed in ahead of time and that would account for the superior damping and feel.
