Standard ST220 brakes i'd have throught? Maybe upgraded calipers and disc size, but nothing i'd call "immense"


Why you think they are immense? You want to try ceramics

Breaks on a car you don't own are always better than your own

well i was crusing to work down a straight section of the A12 this morning at 70ish, the road behind was empty, and when i looked in the mirror i could see blues coming, so i pulled in, the fiesta in front obviously wasn't looking in their mirror, the ST came past me at about 120/130mph (I'd slowed down a fair bit so the fiesta got about 60ft ahead) and from when the ST came past me at silly speed, it then slowed to 70mph in a matter of feet! Oh my goshh, the noise from what i assume was ABS or something was fricking immense!!!

I think they're just normal Traffic Police but they come out of the same station as the Interceptors, and do joint operations obviously.

Yeah i supose so, but there's absolutely no chance in hell the corsa would stop even half that quick, well it wouldn't get to those speeds in the first place
