With my '01 RT/10 fully broken in, I hooked up the G-tech last night and went out to record some braking information. I tried 60-0 braking on several different asphalt surfaces, and also recorded raw braking G forces at low (10-30mph) and higher (60-80mph) speeds. All results were recorded by simply going two feet in (stand on brakes and clutch as hard as possible) and letting the ABS do the work. The results were interesting:
60-0 braking: 110 - 116 feet, depending on surface.
Braking force, ~60mph: .93G - .96G
Braking force, ~30mph: 1.02G - 1.06G
I'll be interested to see what the magazine tests show, as they undoubtedly have a standard surface they use for braking tests. However, if their results are close to mine, the '01 Viper has some of the best braking distances of any production car. For example, from Road & Track (Motor Trend):
'98 Acura NSX: 60-0 in 134' (116')
'00 BMW M5: 60-0 in 129' (117')
'00 Corvette Z06: 60-0 in 123' (111')
'98 Viper GTS: 60-0 in 155' (126')
'99 F360 Modena: 60-0 in 110' (117')
'00 911 Turbo: 60-0 in 119' (116')
60-0 braking: 110 - 116 feet, depending on surface.
Braking force, ~60mph: .93G - .96G
Braking force, ~30mph: 1.02G - 1.06G
