The MOT brake test requires only 50% so if you've just passed it, you will take longer. If your brakes are in good condition and your car is light, you'll probably improve it. Don't get no respect!

Mine stop very well with the pads and disks on it. No complaints at all. ust idle curiosity really $\:\)$ Vinci Grey LE Alfa 147 GTA 3.2 V6 BMW E92 M3 4.0 V8 Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvole 2.0 16v ABS

Sorry no data for 60mph $\:D$ F**** b**** thing...
