Q) How do you get 116 horsepower?

A) By calculating the average braking power needed to change the 60-0 MPH time.  The peak power would be over 200 horsepower.  More here.


Q) Wouldn't bigger brakes be better?

A)
Not on the rear of the car.  Only 20% of the braking is done by the rear wheels and any more would cause rear wheel lock up.  More here.

Q) There has to be a better system?

A) Once the right brake balance is achieved, greater deceleration is achieved only by sticky tires or moving weight in the car.  40mm brakes provide over 1.0 G deceleration.


Q) Can these be put on any Viper?

A)
40mm brakes are only for 1992-2000 model year Vipers, the cars that do not have ABS.  Purchase here. They will not fit on newer model cars.
