I also don't see how Brembos will do anything to decrease stopping distance...monobloc calipers' primary function is to dissipate heat faster for constant repeatable brake performance. But now I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing.

I know I probalby knocked off 5-7ft from my stopping distance with these pads, so if a bike rode my buttox they'd be on my hood if I had to brake quickly.

Wrong colours guys. Ones painted in gold shed at least another 10 feet off 0-60 stops.

Remember that a 10mph difference does not equate to a 70/60 times greater braking difference. Look at 60-0 vs. 70-0 braking distance stats. The tailgater in the G35 with brembos will have a much longer stopping distance starting from the point its brakes engage.

Good point!! Since the driver was about 1/3rd of a car length behind my GF. It would take about 1.3 seconds in the least for the driver's brain to register "I need to take my right and off of my GF's left boob!!"

Then take another 1.5 seconds for his hands to grip the steering wheel and apply a high amount of foot pressure to the brakes. In the first second we would already been hit and possibly dead.

If the driver had more than 30 feet of distance then he would of had more time to react and at the same time maybe copped an extra feel in the process.

My friends all ride... I don't ride only because I know I'd kill myself, so I'm usually cool around bikes. But if they act stupid, cutting me off on the freeway, then slowing down for no reason (nobody else on the freeway to the sides or in front) as an example, then I have no empathy for them at all...

This might just be me. I used to live in that area and just moved to another place a few months ago. For the past 3 years, I haven't seen another IP in that area. I do drive aggressively, for what I think is safe given the conditions of the roads/weather and surrounding traffic/pedestrian. A very conservative person might consider what I've done as 'acts of stupidity', another might just brush it off as 'some dude having fun running through the gears and hanging the tail out'.

I would never tailgate a motorcycle.
