Yup 3.8 mine cuts off at 117-118ish. I just hold it steady at 116, I hate when that thing cuts in.

3500lb car from 110mph, convert to metric:

2187kg, 49.1m/s

Ek=1/2mv^2, or Kenetic Energy=1093(49.1^2)

Plug the numbers and you have 2636220.735 Joules of kenetic energy that you're turning to heat in your brakes.

Now, assume it takes you 10 seconds to perform this stopping action. 2636220.7/10 is 263322.07 Watts of energy is converted into heat in your brake system. Now assume a 70/30 front/rear split of braking work, and a 50/50 split of left/right braking, that means that 35% of that energy, or 92,162.7 watts of energy (or enough energy to power your house for 3 days and 7 hours) was converted into heat in that one rotor seconds before you touched it.

wow, you want to take my chem final for me? [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]
