There are plenty of "engineers" on this site, but not enough. The last thing this thread needed was another opinion from someone who doesn't know, and doesn't even own either of the two cars in question. |
I concur...
some of what he saids makes no sense, and makes obvious he is no engineer
no matter what brakes, for a given car from a given speed, the same heat is generated...now granted, it's dissapated at different rates, but E = 1/2mv^2 is still 'true' lol
stopping from 100-0 20 seconds apart 35 times is no different than braking on a track from a given speed at a given rate, in fact the 100-0 without cool down may be more demanding of the system....
braking from 100-0 = 10,000 (100^2) units of energy (normalized for car wt)
braking from say 120 to 60 = 10,800 ~ the same...
but a 2 minute lap might have only 2 or 3 hard braking zones, 30-40 sec apart...
