Either attach the pic using the attachment button (paper clip icon) or upload the pics to a image sharing site like photobucket...

Also... welcome to the internet...

i'm with you on this one..you gave me food for thought (my physics hat appreciates it). it's all a matter of saving "time" whether it's via quick acceleration, stopping, or both...one is on the left side of the bell, the other is on the right side of the bell curve..both need modding, the way I think of it at least. sorry meant to get back to this statement a while back got busy...

I know you are a brake snob (you said so yourself), but the brakes are actually pretty good compared to some other cars in the market

Maybe with low-grip OEM tires, but as I discovered (stint 1, lap 2) last week, performance tires quickly overwhelm the stock pads.

Yes... the problem is, I haven't driven other cars on the market except for BMWs and lexus... and they both have incredible brakes...

I just checked out a 25.5k one yesterday with hail damage. Just a lot of dimples. Nothing broken and no paint chips.
