just ran some quick calc's/ratios for the info Dave had and added my car:
HP Torque T/HP Brakes weight Drag Cd # / HP # / ft-# T # per brake mm
Golf 115 122 1.06 226 2350 0.34 20.4 19.3 10.4
Prelude 110 114 1.04 207 2450 ? 22.3 21.5 11.8
CRX Si 91 93 1.02 231 2130 0.32 23.4 22.9 9.2
one thing that struck me was that the ratio for the Torque ft-#'s to hp was not too different. So using hp instead of torque seems less.
i threw in the ratio of weight to brake diameter just for grins as well as the weight per torque.
the golf Cd was from the net and is just a guess. of course, i think i have less cross sectional area as well.
and the formula should be a sticky somewhere in the rules thread.
tom, btw, the numbers looked so good when i pasted them from an excel sheet. is there a better way to format them into a table?
