Also, data can be used to your advantage of course. If I do ten stops with an average of 100 ft, but got a 95 in one run, then did ten stops with a different pad and got an average of 100 ft, but one with 105 ft... I can make it look like the pads improved it by 10 feet... 
Not saying that's what Jeremy did, I don't know the details of his test, but simple surface temp differences between the tests will change braking distance. |
Now that I've read the thread it looks like they weren't really making any attempts to make it scientific. Like, that wasn't the goal. Just said "I wonder.." and did it. Really I think including the Motortrend number was dubious but it is what it is.
