How did you get tickets? I understand they are hard to come by!

One thing I'll add...
Is that even though G-techs can be quite inaccurate mine seems to give readings which match my results at the track. I've done one 1/4 mile with it and got a 15.41 @ 91.4 mph (but had a full tank of gas and spare in the trunk). This is just 0.1 off of the time I ran last season and the higher trap speed could be due to the fact that the g-tech doesn't average speed over the last 60ft like they do at the drag strip.
Either way, I would be surprised if my braking distances were off by more 4-5 feet. However, my main intention was to establish a baseline before switching to the Race Concepts rotors and Axxis Metal Master pads. Everyone talks about how their SVX stops much better with these products, but I'm a numbers kinda guy and I want to see improvement in performance. Slotted rotors and semi-metallic pads should be a pretty aggressive set-up, and will hopefully cut another 5+ feet off my average stopping distance. There should also be an improvement in fade resistance as svxsubaru1 mentioned.  -Chike

The SVX doesn't have a problem with stopping once. Just with warping (debatable) and fade.
I remember a test where they were getting a distance of 110 or so feet from 60-0.

The Celica GT-S gets around 110, and it's 1100 lbs lighter. BTW, I ordered the bore/slotted design rotors from Ben. I lost my G-Tech/Pro, or I'd run a few tests myself. However, I will write a review of the general feel with the new rotors, pads, and brake lines as soon as I get them installed. Installation will hopefully happen not this, but next Saturday, provided I receive the items next Friday. Thanks for sharing your stock braking performance tests with us, Chike!

I have that review and some others. I can scan and put it in a PDF format and post it if you are interested. I know it isn't the actual artical, but it is the next best thing.
