RX-8 Stopping Distance!

RX-8 Stopping Distance!
Cold brakes:
EDIT (it's been a lot of posts!)
From 100km/h (62 mph): 36 meters (~118.110 feet).
And from Buger's correction down below, mathematic computation shows 60-0 stopping distance to be ~110ft.
Thanks Buger!

That's only a one stop though. How will be brakes feel after 25 consecutive stops? This apparently is how Porsche designs their brakes, 25 stops WITHOUT FADE

Herc,
I'm disappointed in you...
First of all, I'll let you read the graph again to find the 100km/h - 0 distance.
Secondly, distance in braking does not decrease linearly with speed. We went over this exact same discussion in the following thread:
http://www.rx8forum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1175
To recap: The 62 - 0 mph braking distance is approx 118 ft. Math shows the 60 - 0 mph braking distance at approx 110 ft.
