Results:
Avg STOCK brake temps: Front: 876º Rear: 516º
Avg GT500 brake temps: Front: 475º Rear: 371º
Temp improvement absolute: Front: 401º Rear: 145º
Temp increase improvement in percentage (from ambient): Front: 49.5% Rear: 29.8%
Note: Only the front brake hardware was upgraded (calipers/rotors), yet significant performance improvements were also notes in the rear brakes due to the fronts improving so much.
Subjectively, both drivers reported some brake fade after the 6th lap with the stock brakes. Also, both drivers noted modulation was much improved with the GT500 brake set up as compared to the stock Mach I brakes.
- Procedure:
- 8 consecutive hot laps at Waterford Hills Road Course (track map here).
- Rotor temperatures measured immediately at hot pit after 8th lap.
- Drivers: Two expert drivers, one driver per each brake configuration (to get best average).
- Car: 04 Mach I – Stock
- Brakes (baseline): Stock Mach 1 (same as Cobra) 13” rotor w/PBR caliper
- Brakes (upgrade): Vintage Venom GT500 Brake Conversion w/ 14” rotor and Brembo caliper
