Figured there has been too much bad blood on here in the last few weeks (cough... Tracky.... coughTracky wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 12:58 pmWhat’s come over you….Rarecolour wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 12:55 pm

Still, if there's a debate to be had, I'm in. Just can't really go down like they used to on the other forum, dread to think what folk would have thought about those days

So has anybody taken delivery with a GT sports steering wheel and if so, does it slightly occlude the view of the dials at all?
Obviously it’s smaller than standard and I thought standard was only just big enough but I haven’t had chance to try out GT wheel.

Somewhere on the forum there is a thread than confirms there s some obstruction of dials

You can say that again. I only said the brakes didn’t feel great.On-Track wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 10:12 amYour opening post has obviously generated a lot of heat (excuse the pun ) but by now your brakes should have settled in and you should be happy with the performance. Both Mercedes and Porsche brake systems have fairly long pedal travel. The Macan system is heavily servoed so stopping from medium to low speeds only requires a fairly small application. In the (thankfully) few occasions I've had to do a hard stop I always end up looking in the rear view mirror. I have absolute confidence I will stop short of the obstruction in front but don't know if the car behind me can.
Anyway, it’s done a couple of hundred miles now, but I’ve been out today in sleet/snow, so brake testing didn’t seem to be an ideal pastime. Pottering about trying not to crash seemed like a better idea.
I will make sure though that I keep everyone up to date as everyone seems to be quite invested in it.
This isn’t correct btw.On-Track wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 11:44 am The Ferodo information was posted to support Rarecolour's argument. Unfortunately it doesn't, it recommends braking from 50mph to 20mph.
One of the basic laws of physics is E=M(C squared) where E is energy, M= Mass and C=velocity. So a mass (in this case a Macan) travelling at 70mph has 400 times the kinetic energy as one travelling at 50mph. The brakes use friction to convert this energy into heat. Ferodo warn that excessive heat can cause irreversible changes to the pad material.
Rarecolour would seem to be right about the initial bedding in but wrong about the speeds involved.
In E=MC^2 C is the speed of light not the speed of a macan.
Kinetic energy is 1/2 mv^2. So @70 you’ve about double the energy of the same vehicle at 50.
