Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hello everyone, as i try and learn more about my car, i have more questions. this is my observation (c4s). acceleration is very good. sounds great and pulls well. even better are the brakes. pressure there provides fast stopping. so i think that 320bhp for go must equate to 1000bhp for braking. i do not know the mechanical engineering explanation for such a feeling but it must be true! can brakes possibly have bhp ratings??

POST 2Original post

look at F1 brakes 2522 kilo watts for this example from http://www.crash.net/f1/video/170085...ing_in_f1.html The definition of the horsepower also has varied between different applications: The mechanical horsepower, also known as imperial horsepower, of exactly 550 foot-pounds per second is approximately equivalent to 745.7 watts. The metric horsepower of 75 kgf-m per second is approximately equivalent to 735.499 watts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepo...nt_definitions so for F1 2522000/745.7 = 3385 hp I recall reading that early turbo/917 brakes were equal to ~1,400hp
