Bit of help needed please.
Does anybody have a copy (paper or pdf) they could let me have of the Autocar & Motor October 91 Roadtest of the RS. I've got a poor photocopy & can't read all of the data. In particular the braking performance.

I've been through all the info I've got and can find nothing (other than the above I can't read!) on stopping distances for the RS - anybody know of anything or done some personal research?

I know it's hugely dependant on tyres, road, temperature, brake pads - but some basic figures would be great.

Colin Belton of Fencemeister Fame has all the technical info.......all I know on standard pads etc they stop on a sixpence, and if you ever had to test them to the limit you must be in deep 5H1T................
 
Thanks guys - it was just a reference I read about stopping distances of modern cars compared to in the 60's/70's, set me wondering about the RS.
