Interesting.

100kph - 0.

V8 - 33.50m
TT - 34.95m

Perhaps TT owners should upgrade to V8 brakes?

Man, the Legends and the 850's breaks are TERRIBLE! Better never let one of those follow too close behind!

Love the "drunken Japanese business man trying to get home" tests.

That 850 looks like such a handful compared to the Japanese cars. Such a nice looking car, but no wonder it was such a flop.

ie tt brakes on both soarers. Uzz32 suspension gives edge for short braking, extra weight punishment for high speed braking?

can't fight physics. The swerve tests showing the active vs tt were amazing.

Its the Active, so its carrying a few extra kilos :-)

Just shows what a huge impact suspension has on braking performance.

How would a non active V8's braking compare to the TT?

Jolly interesting chaps.

I like that they compared the Legend V6 coupe, which I have owned previously.

I can say they are a good car, very lively motor and actually handle well, the front wheel drive aspect lets them down, but their biggest fault is general aesthetics and quality, its just not up there with the Soarer or BMW, still far too middle of the road, like a regular Honda.

This clip is also fantastic as it is showing near new Soarers, unmodified and immaculate, Like a fine wine left on the rack unopened...

Wish I could understand Japanese and also wish the V8 didn't loose all the drag races :-)
